It’s been fairly well-documented, but The Marsh has been on life support for weeks. A harsh winter and the prolonged absence of Butt Splice has put the AO into a deep coma, and resuscitation has been slow and unsuccessful. YHC provided some half-assed CPR this morning, but knows that it’ll take the return of Señor Splice and some warm weather to really get this AO moving again.
Here’s what went down this morning: YHC rolls in a little early (that’s right, I’m back in a car now), and whips out the phone to see who’s Q. A glowing, empty slot stares back at me. So… it’ll either be a Round Robin, or no one will post. Turtle made some vague mention of possibly-maybe-potentially showing, and one of the Seal Team 6 members can always surprise you. But as the minutes wore on it became clear no one would post this morning, and YHC felt awake enough to do something. Now, if this comes off as, Hey, look at me, guys! I went out and got some while you guys fartsacked!, let me just assure you that last Friday at the Cove was another no-show morning, and YHC did absolutely nothing. (I noted to myself that it took 66 steps to get to the car and only 42 to make it right back to my bed.) And this morning was not much more: a bit of standard warm up, jog around the block, descending ladder of pull-ups, the ISI challenge of the day, and some mary.
Now, with the Marsh facing such decline, I’m going to make a commitment to make at least the next two Mondays. Maybe the next three. And I challenge you guys to do the same. Shooter’s got the Q next Monday, let’s show the man some support!
