Vampires and Light

3

Hoedown: we had a dozen gather in the gloom at Tuckahoe. I turned on my headlamp with fresh batteries as we gathered prior to the start. This resulted in a ‘vampire terrified of light’ reaction from Handshake. Tuckahoe is pretty dark until the lights at the school turn on at 6:00 AM.

EF Hutton and I have been to a lot of workouts together but this was the first time where he was here when I Q’d. Garbage Plate and Neutral came in a bit late but still found us.

One of the exercises I called is labeled “LaLanne” back in Charlotte where I came from. Jack LaLanne (1914-2011) was famous for preaching the benefits of regular exercise and a good diet. Per Wikipedia, as reported on LaLanne’s website, he performed several noteworthy feats of physical skill and strength. At the age of 70, he towed 70 rowboats, one with several guests, 1 mile. Wikipedia also says that the feats listed were as reported on his website and “not necessarily entirely accurate descriptions of what LaLanne actually did.”

  1. It’s exhausting just reading the recap of what we did.

    I remember seeing a Jack Lalanne Juicer infomercial when I was a kid that included stories of his legendary feats and being totally mesmerized. All thanks to drinking juice and daily exercise.

  2. Does this mean you are going to drag the PAX around in a row boat when you hit 70? I have a feeling you may be able to do it.

    Good traveling Q this am. I kept waiting for the soccer ball but it just didn’t happen. Next time!

  3. Pigskin, you continue to being the pain. I can’t wait until I’m 69 and everything is easy.
