Romans 8:31

He who kneels before God, can stand before anyone

I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees…

Emiliano Zapata (1879-1919) general of southern Mexican revolutionary army who was main leader of peasant revolution to overthrow the aristocrats, may have inspired Zoro.

 

Moleskin

This workout was themed around Thriller’s 10 year wedding anniversary that was 6/11/11 when he had to choose between walking down the aisle or running away from the venue.  To do either, legs were necessary, hence all legs all day.

At the choose your own ending the chair holders “walked down the aisle: and the stair runners “ran away from the venue”.  The metaphor I was reaching for was that its a lot harder to run from your partner than to leave them. (though staying with them can make you hurt too)

  • They are PC in NC and no cherry pickers, cotton pickers, or Indian Runs, but they do get big groups
  • The Monkeys TV show led was terrible but if gave us MTV…which is now terrible
  • Frogs do look like frog jumps, y’all just need to watch a video of tree frogs jumping vertically
  • Mango did good work waking up Gas Station to show
  • Yoga would probably be more enjoyable if not being rained on
