11 hardy PAX rolled out of their warm, cozy beds, took the red pill, and braved the cool. Some dressed as if it was cold. Nevertheless, Ma Bell was there to greet them with a warm smile and a punishing workout. Here’s how it went down. At 05:44:50, YHC was taking inventory when a pair of headlights materialized out of the gloom. A knowing smile came across the PAX faces and in unison said “ah, here comes Term Paper, right on time.” Nevertheless, there is no waiting. At 05:45:00, we were off for some briskly paced figure 8s up to the top of the parking lot – weaving around all the islands – back down about half way, then over to the side to paint the lines up to the baseball.
With the date being October 20,2015, or in shorthand 10-20-15, that made for some nice numbers from which to base our set counts. Hey, it was the best YHC could do. Anyway…
