Four uncultured swine joined YHC in the muddy pig pen of Schriever Park for a lesson in classic America. After a warmup of mud straddle hops and other favorites, we moseyed to the mini Thunderdome for our first piece. Aaron Copland was an American composer whose famous music has been …
`YHC got the nod from Coach Goose in the dugout on Wednesday afternoon. Fresh legs were needed from the Q bullpen. Bring in the middle reliever. We all know this pitcher. His fastball, high 60s and fading. His curve, non-existent. Some chin music to establish the zone, sure. But YHCs …
Better late than never a backblast from Monday, 7/18/22. YHC rolled up to the stage in the dark to prepare for the morning’s beatdown. After some prior recalling from Paradox that it has been a while since the bricks have been seen, a theme popped up. 12 bricks were unloaded …
Bright morning sun, fresh cut grass and a few buried treasures met 10 PAX Saturday at the Peltch. The hype for the St. Vincent 500 is steadily building so YHC decided to give the PAX a history beatdown and honor the life of this great Saint. Standard issue warmup with …
Storm clouds threatened as 6 PAX gathered in the muggly gloom for YHC’s third and somewhat wonky attempt at a beatdown. Nevertheless, the theme was true and the PAX was hungry. Said theme revolved around gratitude and humility. Warmup: The norm with an added deep hip flexor pulses (thing yoga …
5 PAX gathered on a warm Monday morning, not knowing it was a big day, which would require a big beatdown. First, July 11 is the 40th anniversary of YHC’s baptism, which started it all. Second, it’s the Feast of St. Benedict, who not only is the father of monasticism, …
4 PAX for the 4th, and YHC focused on what makes a nation truly great–the unnoticed people on the ground level who do the “small”, thankless work, generation after generation. It’s hard work, humility, patience, perseverance, and a willingness to just keep grinding it out day after day regardless of …
Louisiana summers always remind YHC of a childhood formed by endless pool days and blockbuster movie nights. (RIP video stores and God bless my parents for raising us in the pre streaming/iPad parenting era). Nothing better than rolling into the blockbuster with 5 bucks and having to make a single …
Deep in the depths of the Paradox iPhone lives a playlist that has no name. It feeds on the souls of poor burpee form. It has daily injections of AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. It never stops looking for repetitive songs to link with even more repetitive exercises. It delights at …
YHC isn’t usually the first to arrive, so when the Stage was empty upon arrival and still empty minus the flag and the Goose-mobile at 5:29, things were looking bleak. But that’s when Yankee Joe pulled in, solid in his commitment to make a full comeback after having posted for …
