The Kiss

  “Ryabovitch pulled the bed-clothes over his head, curled himself up in bed, and tried to gather together the floating images in his mind and to combine them into one whole. But nothing came of it. He soon fell asleep, and his last thought was that someone had caressed him and made him happy—that something extraordinary, foolish, but joyful and delightful, had come into his life. The thought did not leave him even in his sleep. When he woke up the sensations of oil on his neck and the chill of peppermint about his lips had gone, but joy flooded his heart just as the day before.” The Kiss By Anton Chekhov (1860–1904)

Farewell Dr. Ben!

l to r: Chris, myself, Ben, Mark, Jason
A good friend of ours (center) is moving along to the next phase of his life's journey. We are really going to miss him--but it's not "good bye."

We celebrated Ben and sent him off by doing the workout of his choosing: "12 Days of Christmas." So, complete with some rockin' Christmas music we had some serious bang-n-clang going on in the Fitness Center.

We did the following WOD, like you would sing the song, the number of the "day" being number of reps. And boy did everyone crank it out!

1 Power Clean (115#)
2 Pull-up
3 Wall Ball (20#) or Thruster
4 Bench Dip
5 Goblet Squat
6 Push-up
7 "Supermans"
8 Deadlift (115#)
9 Box Jump
10 Kettlebell Swing
11 Burpee
12 Knee to Elbow

Best going-way party ever. Sure made some memories, Dr. Ben!
