Breaking Bread – Thanksgiving Saturday

By Pucker on November 29, 2021

When: 11/27/21
QIC: Pucker
The PAX: Pucker and 2.0

Many thanks to Upchuck for organizing this opportunity to help others! YHC cooked a hot lasagna meal for 8 folks at Breaking Bread on Saturday 11/27. The meal included Caesar salad, lots of bread, cookies and pie for dessert and a few options for drinks. Per Upchuck’s sage advice I did not opt to bring a Turkey meal! While we are not currently allowed into the building to help serve, it was a great way to help others who need it. My son helped me prepare the meal which provided us some time together.

When: 11/27/21
QIC: Fireman Ed
The PAX: Fireman Ed, Lighthouse, Yugo(FNG), Chum Bucket, Attila, Pigskin, Offshore, Dial Up

With it being about 25 degrees outside I was driving up and I guess they were playing a doubleshot of Foreigner on 96.5. The song that came on was “Cold As Ice” by Foreigner. We were happy to have a FNG from Jersey and Ukraine join us. He came in a fancy Porsche (not to be confused with no frills Porsches) so we named him Yugo. I guess if you can afford New Jersey property taxes you can afford a nice car. Welcome Yugo! The exercises went something like this: COP: Lap around parking, lot, DQs, CPs, Freddie Mercuries, Arm…

Without his push, I would have never stepped up to Q. I’m grateful for that push to step outside of my comfort zone. And the time he did Burpee Back Mountain, after I laughed at the name, I thought it sounded impossible (another push for growth). It’s a Dora of 100 Burpees. P1 does those while P2 runs up and down the amphitheater. To get out of the amphitheater, at each level, we…
