Friday Surprise

Not a lot to add to the Haupertonian Chronicles today. Although, I usually do not post on Friday. Given that; standard fare, yesterday presented. Although, the TSD adult class was a real hum-dinger. Almost everyone in the class was as sweaty as I typically am. Even the Circle Sparring was invigorating. At the end of class, one of the participants, Sgt Awesome, announced that she would be riding in the MS-150 and is looking for donations. I immediately pulled out $20 and demanded that the rest of the crowd 'Man up!'. I gave her some tips and thanked her. She, of course, noted that although it would be warm, it could not be any worse than her tour of duty in Afghanistan.

More cheap meme cruft:
