A clear and cold (26 degrees) morning greeted the Pax for this week’s edition of TRQ (THE Rock Quarry).\u00a0 Principally a core (non-running) workout, the challenge this morning was to keep everyone warm without violating the general spirit of AO.\u00a0 (As an aside, there is a chance that YHC may receive an email from Burlap admonishing the Q for the (perceived) amount of running).<\/p>\n
Though no FNGs were present, a full disclaimer was presented.\u00a0 The Pax saw right through the Q, and quickly determined that YHC was indeed an attorney.\u00a0 YHC disclosed that YHC is the best of both worlds:\u00a0 a trial attorney who now works as a banker.\u00a0 Does it get any better?\u00a0 YHC thinks not.<\/p>\n
With the formalities out of the way, time to GO:<\/p>\n
