Two Keydets showed at Batteau this morning, one coming off a nice family beach vacation, the other getting ready to go into a similar battle in the coming days. in typical Batteau fashion the hot potato had the Q this morning. YHC moseyed everyone over to tennis courts for some good stretching. It went like this – various reps of Donny Q’s, helicopters, imperial soldiers, right leg over left leg, the reverse, Fuddskies, Wilsons, and some side straddle hops to get the blood pumpin. Mosey over to the parapet area where we proceeded with three rounds of 10 incline merkins,…
Oh Yeah… I did. YHC joined Gomer for a jaunt around Currahee. We did what YHC will call was “The Standard Route”. It can be standard as it was my first venture out to Currahee and can only assume it is similar to the Grove Ave route at RAMM, only better. Currahee is a good variation on the running routine. YHC suggests any of the running regulars try it out. Great running with Gomer. We discussed all sorts of current events.

June 29th being the occasion of YHC’s 43rd birthday, the dream of designing and running a ninja warrior course was in order. After greeting the pax and conducting a quick COP including 43 SSHs, we moseyed through the course so YHC could explain the various obstacles and exercises. After returning to the start of the course in the parking circle of TES, we divided into pairs. The first pair, YHC and Doozy, took off at the sound of the starting buzzer and the race began. The second pair, GP and Probation, started after waiting one minute, then the third pair…

The Japanese call it “kaizen”. A few years ago YHC witnessed two scientists verbally duking it out. The topic was Intelligent Design. Exasperated, and noting his opponent was dressed in a clerical collar, one of the scientists exclaimed, “You’re supposed to be an Episcopal priest. Do you even believe in God?” The priest’s/scientist’s reply was: “I’m working on it.” That has been YHC’s mantra since. Someone assured YHC early on when he started F3 that the workouts don’t get any easier. On the surface that sounds like a deterrent, but it’s not. Pavarotti often encourages YHC to reflect, “Why are…
