A trip to the zoo brought to you by the numbers 7 and 14

In the words of Jigglypuff "A Kingly VQ"

It is amazing how much I didn’t pick-up naturally from two months of just doing the workouts. [Read More]

The Cheddar Beast

Excited and a tad nervous for VQ week and my VQ at A-Team. Call me obsessive compulsive but I made two scouting trips to the AO, one in the daytime and one 30 minutes before go time, just to make certain that what I saw in the daylight still worked in the gloom. Good news…it did. No FNG’s but just for practice (you talk’n ‘bout practice) gave the disclaimer speech and off we went with a goal of seeing the familiar parking lots in a little different light.
