Week #5 of the Uptowner Yoga Challenge. Prior to The Thang, Walleye diagnosed YHC with a Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Injury. He prescribed a Walgreen’s wrist splint and weekly check-ups. He said it would hurt for a while. He said I could go see a doctor, but I have learned from …

After laying the guilt trip on Yankee, I got him to finally post at The Uptowner. As lagniappe, he brought a flag. YHC had a goal to meet so I told everyone to pick their rocks, a big one and a bigger one, as they rolled in. The bigger one …
