Where in the Hell is Dante's Peak?


I knew there would come a time when I would make the trek over to Apex Nature Boy Park.  Home of Carpex’s quiet workout.  Only been to DP once and was in trouble early on for being a little loud.

78 degrees, humid as hell, 32 33 Pax rolled in to have some fun, get stronger and learn that, as in life, workouts are best if not in a straight line.

Bad 80’s tunes were on the box, a variety of baseball gear was on display promoting our 2nd F Durm Bulls Game on Sunday.  Hello Kitty was sporting a cool Freedom baseball shirt and YHC had his AWAY grey Dodgers jersey on because this is Apex and I live in Cary.   Note: White Dodger jersey was at SNS.

Three father/son combos in the house.  Dice and Bo Jackson wrapping up a six pack week (Awsome work guys), Swag and son FNG Trail Mix (12 yrs young - war baby) and Half and his poppa FNG Milli Vanilli (58 yrs young - war daddy).   Just what we needed…more youth and respects.   Yay!   BTW:  In retrospect, Kitty feels we should have named Milli Vanilli (MV) Footloose cause it was on the box when we were naming.    Next time.

5:46.  I grabbed the box and we headed down to the cul-de-sac for some warm up.

Warm up

Circle up.  SSH, Little Baby JJ’s, SSH, Hillbillies, Fazio Arm Circles (both ways), merkins, Good Mornings.

Thangs

  • Stying put in the circle.

  • Crimson called Billy Run…so we lined up and ran to the screen. AYG.  Then skipped back to the circle for some…..

COT

  • We circled up, we did the name-a-rama, we named Trail Mix and Milli Vanilli
  • We announced some stuff.  Nobody listened.  See Twitter, group me or CarPex Chronicle.
  • We prayed and praised.   Hello Kitty’s traveling family,  Hi Liters dad, the family of the young boy killed in the car accident + for good judgement for our young adults, MaBell/Banjo heading to WVA for ASP and few others.
  • YHC took us out.

Enjoyed DP.   I will be back.  You men gave me energy this morning.   Let’s do it again.

Later.
