impromptu |imˈpräm(p)ˌt(y)o͞o|
adjective& adverb
done without being planned, organized, or rehearsed
Perhaps it is best to “have a plan” but sometimes you must simply “wing-it”, and sometimes you choose to “wing-it” …either way, I think we can all safely assume that the expression “wing-it” causes us to conjure the word “canceleer” in our minds & bosoms. This word is specific to the hawk: it means ‘to turn once or twice on the wing before attacking.’ Pronounced — can-sah-leer — the impromptu habits of the hawk in the air, sturdy, graceful, circling, then swooping down with fierce purpose.
What does this have to do with our work-out this morning? …very little, but your vocabulary has expanded – and that’s generally not a bad thing.

Moleskin:
Arena needs our help. His beard is coming in nicely, but there is an immanent threat that he will be pressured to shave it off soon (the wife may not tolerate it much longer). We cannot allow this to happen. I propose that each of us write a 2-5 page letter lobbying for the continuance of Arena’s beard. There is a lot of solid Beard Propaganda out there! For instance, “Ladies, if your man has a beard, raise your hand. If he doesn’t… raise your standards!” or “Excuse me miss, my eyes are up here.” Happy hunting.
