Go straight to work. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Fun's over, people :)

Getting A Grip On Change

"One day, I was walking through the grocery store and I noticed a subtle change," Stevenson recalls. "The ************** had square sides and a square bottom instead of the round one I was used to."

"Suddenly it occurred to me that the ************ has been this ever-present item in my life since I was a teenager — and it had changed."

The shape changed and grips were added, Healy says, because people wanted something sturdier. The new-and-improved ****** also doesn't slip out of your hand when beer sloshes over the side.

Plenty of other companies make ***********, and though a lot of them are cheaper, ****** is the one that's become the king of the keggers.

"It is a very well made **** and I think initially that did have to do with its success," Stevenson says. "But I think partly it's just become the standard, and it's just become synonymous with partying and when people go to the store to stock up for their barbecue, that ************, it calls to them."

And thanks to Toby Keith, it sings, too.

 

Can you guess the product? Now get back to work.

This would have been better for yesterday but better late than never.

I was asked by a couple folks why I didn't scale the third WOD on Saturday since I have never done a muscle up and it was at the end of the day when I was already beat from a tough day. My FranklinCovey organizer for the 14th had this quote:
Back of ninety-nine out of one hundred assertions that a thing cannot be done is nothing but the unwillingness to do it. ~ William Feather

This is not perfect for this situation but does apply. I flipped it in my head. I was thinking - what is a better platform to do your first MU than at a competition where most people that would care about it are there watching and cheering?

DAMN YOU, MU! :)

Yes, Karla, that is some serious air...or the floor is out of focus. ;-)

Jack, I'm not sure if I should be more alarmed about A) you're saying something NOT sarcastic or B) you have a FranklinCovey organizer in the day of iPhones, or C) you admit to having such an organizer. Are you drunk already???

(BTW, you'll get that MU and we'll all cheer for you!)
