Preamble:

36 years ago Hans Gruber and a group of blood thirsty terrorists, who turned out to be only in it for the money, took over the Nakatomi Plaza in downtown Las Angeles on Christmas eve. They didn't count on Detective John McClain of the NYPD to be lose in the building.  So after a long night of machineguns, explosives and jumping from rooftops with only a firehose to arrest his fall, Detective McClain thwarted the bad guys and got the girl. Today we gather to pay homage to Det. McClain.

Warm-O-Rama:

Lots of mobility and a nice long mosey, that included backward, and side shuffle mosey to get limber.

The Thang:

Det. McClain had to run across the broken glass barefoot, so we did 300 calf raises, in sets of 50 with sprinting in between. Det. McClain had to crawl through the HVAC duct to avoid detection, so we did Indian/hi-five merkins followed by crawling through the tunnel on manhood (Baskin would have loved that one.) Det. McClain had to jump from the rooftop with only a fire hose to arrest his fall, so we did standing broad jumps from the stage to the top of the Ampitheater and back, twice Det. McClain taped a pistol to his back, so we did reverse scorpions to ensure we could reach back there and access the pistol when needed. In order to dispatch Hand Gruber and set the world right again, we did Johnny Dramas on the curb to run out the clock.

COT:

We talked about sacrifice.  As we celebrate advent and look forward to Christmas, we recall that Jesus came into this world to die for us.  As such, we need to be prepared to die and to sacrifice all that we have, for our fellow man.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Die Hard is the best Christmas movie ever!
