CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Q decided on a theme for the mosey over to the park.  Black Thursday (10/24/1929) began the stock market crash of said year and, thus, the beginning of the Great Depression.  On Black Thursday, the stock market dropped 11% in one day before finally posting the low of the 20th century in July 1932 having dropped almost 90% from the high.

YHC prayed us out.

MOLESKIN:
Much mumblechatter at the beginning with Q’s odd numbered warm up exercises.  Chatter continued throughout themed mosey as Q, while a CPA, obviously had challenges counting properly to lead exercises.  PAX seemed to enjoy their history lesson for the day.  Many comments about how creative the workout was.  Just trying to keep things fresh!
