Introduction
Low 50’s, a bit of humidity, a clean garage floor, and a computer with a camera. Another night of “okay” sleep. I still haven’t slept like I used to before this COVID-19. Went out to the garage at 4:55 am to stretch and move around a bit. People started joining this live beatdown about 5:10 am. Little bit of mumblechatter before moving into the disclaimer.

The Thang
Exchanged messages with Mrs. Doubtfire over the weekend and he gave me this beatdown to unleash on you guys!
Thang 1 – Ladder Down and then Up
15 burpees, 15 broad jumps
14 burpees, 14 broad jumps
…
1 burpee, 1 broad jump
All the way down and all the way back up is 240 reps (or 239 if you only did “1” once).
Yeah, that sucked, but we are better for doing it.
Circle of Trust
Father in heaven,
Thank you for this beautiful morning. Thank you for bringing this fine group of men together.
We pray for Soccer Mom’s niece, Snart’s M, and Curds’ 2.0. All of these people need your healing.
We pray for all health care professionals and first responders who are on the front lines of this battle.
We pray for everybody that is dealing with this illness and we ask for healing.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.

“Team Development”
From wikipedia: The forming–storming–norming–performing model of group development was first proposed by Bruce Tuckman in 1965, who said that these phases are all necessary and inevitable in order for the team to grow, face up to challenges, tackle problems, find solutions, plan work, and deliver results.
I’m going to compare my time at home with my wife and kids to forming a team.
Forming – Yep, a wife and three kids. No real choices here, especially after hearing the “Shorties” Q Source. This team is here like it or not.
Storming – This is where I’m at. Even after a few weeks at home, we are still battling each other. Problems with space, technology, hunger, keeping little ones busy, trying to do school work, and who’s job is more important. Yes, I know what I should be doing, but I can be self-centered at times. That means that I think my time is the most important. I know it’s not. I need to be better. I need to help my oldest with school work. I’m going to keep trying!
Norming – Maybe on the horizon?
Performing – The ultimate goal.
