Lights, Camera, Action!

When I pulled in to Weddington High at 5:00, there was a local news crew on site.  I thought to myself, Posse really rolls out the red carpet for a guest Q! I eventually found out that the TV guys were not there for me but for a very different & sobering reason.  More on that later….  As 05:30 approached, more cars began to roll in and when it was time to launch, 8 HIMs were disclaimed and took a left out of the parking lot.  Approximately 50 yards later, we did an about face as I realized I left my phone on the bumper of my car.  We retrieved the phone and headed down to the football field/track for COP and the Main Event.

We found out at the Convergence on Saturday that a student at Weddington High was killed in a car accident after school on Friday.  We posted on Saturday AM oblivious to the news until the school principal asked us to pray for him and the student body.  The cameras on site this AM were there as a follow up to their initial report.  Please keep the families, students, faculty & all involved in your thoughts & prayers this week.

As for the workout, the Watchtower PAX brought their A-game this morning.  YHC normally posts in A51, so it was good to see the guys from the other side of the county line.  I’ve always been impressed by how hard the UC PAX works, so when Posse asked if I wanted to Q Watchtower, I could not resist.  Since I was unfamiliar with the AO, I tried to plan a weinke that would keep everyone together and reduce my chances of getting us lost on campus.  From the lack of mumble chatter, it seemed if the exercises were a real crowd pleaser.  I was even able to introduce a new workout (Mary Catherines) to the guys – not sure they were happy about that.  Just wait ’til next time.  I’m saving the hurpees for my next Q!  The Hard Rock Strength Training station on Pandora (I turned off the explicit lyrics as a precaution) seemed to be a favorite by the majority, but there were some requests to get back to the 70’s light rock that is apparently a staple soundtrack for Watchtower.  Sorry to disappoint those of you who aren’t rockers.  Maybe next time, if you’ll have me.  It was an honor to be asked to lead by Posse and a pleasure to drag you guys around the school campus.
