YHC was supposed to Q Parliament last week on 8/22/23, which would have also been my mom’s 82nd birthday. But alas, YHC caught the mystery fever (not gonorrhea or syphilis) and had to swap with @Rudolph. So YHC swapped out playlists but kept the original rough outline/plan for the workout which was to celebrate my mom’s 82nd birthday, Parliament style.

FIN
NMM
@Sea-Man was almost the LIFO but then @Adobe came in on two wheels to be our LIFO. Glad you boys could eventually make it.
@ThePonyExpress remembers my mom as nicer than this workout would lead you to believe.
@Boomerang was impressed with my mom’s eclectic musical taste. @DramaQueen never really figured out the playlist theme until @Subfloor told him the tunes were “hot” and “contagious”.
Here’s the playlist:
- Fever (Elvis Presley)
- Ramblin’ Fever (Merle Haggard)
- Hot Blooded (Foreigner)
- Hot in Herre (Nelly)
- Hot Hot Hot!!! (The Cure)
- Hot Fun In The Summertime (Sly & The Family Stone)
- Hot For Teacher (Van Halen)
- Fever (The Black Keys)
- Cat Scratch Fever (Ted Nugent)
- Fire (Jimi Hendrix)
- Burning Down The House (Talking Heads)
- Too Hot (Kool & The Gang)
- Night Fever (Bee Gees)
YHC was glad to be on the younger end of the pax this morning as we had 3 #DoubleRespects in our midst (@Boomerang, @ZiggyStardust and @RustBucket) We are growing old together, fellas.
Working out with you guys is a whole lot more fun than shivering under the covers with a 104 degree fever.
Thanks for the honor and privilege of leading this morning and for allowing me to remember my mom.
Your friend,
Starfish
