Posted on March 29, 2017 | 2 minutes | 380 words |

Within days after turning 49 last year, I started hearing questions like, “Are you still 49?”, and “Shouldn’t you be 50 by now?” Contrary to McCants’ accusations, I have not been 49 for 3 years. Well, 49 no longer. 24 PAX showed up at SnS today to join in the 50th birthday Q celebration. It went something like this: Warm up Fellowship jog to lower parking lot 50 Merkins (because 50) 50 Hillbilies, IC 10 Good Mornings, IC 20 Mountain Climbers, IC Thang 1 [Read More]

Flirtin' with Cluster-Q

Man, these last few days have been rough in the Cally household. YHC had been sick for a couple weeks but was starting to feel better, only to start feeling like hot garbage again yesterday. The 2.0 has been struggling with an ear infection and then some other nasty virus that has had him up most of the night. And the M…well the M is doing just fine. But the lack of sleep is getting to her too a little. [Read More]

March. Its Madness, Beast Unleashed

Posted on March 28, 2017 | 3 minutes | 437 words |

It has been a tough two days for YHC with Kentucky’s loss to Carolina. We played carelessly, without the abandon needed to close, giving away unnecessary FGs, missing critical layups, dunks, and free throws. YHC has seen the replays. Yes there were some bad calls (some really bad). John Higgins [rooferies.com] best be glad he lives in Omaha. But we lost by 2 points, 2 that were missed earlier in the game multiple times.

Do you even fitness, bro?

Posted on March 24, 2017 | 5 minutes | 860 words |

YHC is working on his fitness and his #CarpexChallenge so after making sure his passport is valid he hit up the ole Q sheet and got on for DZ. Swung by and grabbed Open Out so we could take turns driving and let the other one sleep. I love road trips! Upon arrival we had to check our calendar. This was Friday, right!?! Empty lot. Soon enough the PAX rolled in. [Read More]

There really isn’t much negative you can find in this gem and the men that come to this hallowed ground know it. Its been a while since the Ripper has Q’d, as he has allowed the other men to led the PAX here more recently. [Read More]
