Haiku for a Storm?
Snowstorms threaten us
We are not scared, no, not us!
But driving, oy vey
In other words, folks, with 8-14″ predicted to hit us today, we’re actually thinking that postponement of the CrossFit Watertown Holiday Circus might be in order. Should we move the Festivities to Saturday night? Vote in Comments and we’ll make a decision before noon.
December 19th, 2008 at 9:19 am
we can make it sat night.
December 19th, 2008 at 9:29 am
I can’t make today (most likely) or tomorrow, so it’s all the same to me.
December 19th, 2008 at 9:54 am
Boo snow!! Unfortunately the Reed’s would not be able to attend saturday night =(
December 19th, 2008 at 10:00 am
well I certainly can’t make tomorrow night, maybe the morning and tonight is turning into a big ‘maybe’ for me – depending on how painfully slow my commute is. More importantly yesterday was thursday……were the rumors true??
December 19th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Sadly, no return of K.
Some excuse about a frig breakdown and a repairman.
Even though we know she only keeps vodka in the frig.
December 19th, 2008 at 10:03 am
As for tonight, I can go either way. (Wait, that didn’t sound right.)
What I mean is that I can do it tonight or tomorrow night. (Okay, I’m going to stop talking now.)

Just got back from running into Becky at Stop & Shop with a bazillion other other paranoid people. Well, don’t group Becky and me in that group of other people. Our carts had beer, chips, party items, etc. All the other people had canned goods, water, flashlights, oxygen, etc. By looking at the carts you would think we were getting the storm of the century.
With that said, I’ve got a non-green gas sucking 4wd SUV and am good for tonight. I probably would not be able to make it on Sat. night.
December 19th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Right now, the “Let’s just f’ing do it tonight” crowd is winning . . .
December 19th, 2008 at 10:48 am
And glad to hear that the CFW crowd was getting the important survival items at S+S, Greg. Because I’ve noticed that if you drink enough beer, any food you have in the house tastes good. Really, how else could you make a jar of olives into an entire meal?
(Wait, is that Zone friendly?)
Oh — and BTW, the infamous EC of CF Boston might come visit us and give a Nutrition Talk. Anybody interested? Limit would be 20 people and it would be $40 each. For those of you who don’t know her, EC is the flippin’ bomb. It would be worth it.
December 19th, 2008 at 11:00 am
Were in for tonight too. Can someone come bail me out of the Watertown lock-up? I flipped out at Wtn.S&S with all the F’in crazies. People are so stupid (not CFers of course)
Sign us up for nutrition talk.
3,2,1 go CFW Xmas
December 19th, 2008 at 11:06 am
Lis when would the nutrition talk be?
December 19th, 2008 at 11:07 am
All right, I’m heading out to buy some sand for the driveway, some kind of frozen confection to bring tonight, and the other half of my grabbag gift.
If we don’t have a chorus of gloom and doom naysayers by the time I get back, we’re on for tonight. So, we’re on a yellow caution light until noon, when we’ll throw the flag one way or the other.
December 19th, 2008 at 11:08 am
@Dan: Sometime in early Jan, probably. On a weekend. Maybe a Sat? Need to talk to EC to schedule it.
December 19th, 2008 at 11:34 am
I am most likely out for tonight. Living in the sticks with a near vertical driveway and slick tires is a recipe for badness.
Have fun and someone take notes on how to rope climb for me. And someone else do some rowin’ for me.
December 19th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
Nate I will row 5K for you tonight!You can log it in your thingy.
I will be there – Suby (pronounced Sue-Bee) is all wheel drive – I may be coming to a crashing stop at CFW, but I will attempt no matter what! Barry may still need some persuading – maybe if I promise him he can do some donuts in the Holy Cross parking lot on our way….
Rich you must have just missed Greg and I – between the two of us we successfully cleaned out the Beer, chip, and cookie aisle!
December 19th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
All right, the ayes have it! The Yuletide Extravaganza is still on! I’ll be there early to open up — def by 5pm. (Maybe earlier if Donna and Matt are still coming.)
D+M — in or out? Honestly, you and the pugs could crash at CFW or at our house. Don’t have a spare room but I can kick the boys out of their rooms and into their basement/dungeon. Or Option B would be sleeping bags at CFW.
December 19th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Also Matt & Donna – I don’t know which way you come but last year 84 was a nightmare!!! If you decide to come PLEASE be very careful – we have a lot of bad drivers down here!
December 19th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
Well I just attempted to get lunch – and still have at least a few more hours left before I get to leave so I’m going to have to say tonight is a no go for me…sorry guys
@ Lis, if you can schedule the nutrition thing for a weekend you can count me in
December 19th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
we will decide by 3pm, if it keeps snowing they way it is now, prolly better to stay put. thanks for the offer. i will keep you posted. there is always the new years wod!
December 19th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
oh, and i have at least 3 clients interested in attending the nutrition seminar.
December 19th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Hey…I just tried to go to Stop and Shop to get some stuff and I couldn’t make it to Straits Turnpike from Middlebury Road…cars EVERYWHERE…I think I’m going to stay put tonight…the chili is in the freezer…
If we do reschedule, how about MONDAY…everyone always comes then anyways…just a thought.
December 19th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
monday…. i like the way you think sue
December 19th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Barry and I could make it Monday — I may just have to eat all the cupcakes myself and then make new ones for Monday…I am not sure if they will stay for three days
December 19th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Monday is sounding better for most now. Monday works for me. I’m off from work the next 2 weeks! Maybe a good time to start the 14 days to better push ups thing….?
I won’t have any issue with drinking the beer that I got for tonight by myself, at home, and in front of a fire…. No really. Not a problem at all.
December 19th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Bunch of sissies (Lis would say the “P” word) Get some snow shoes and some huskies, you’ll be fine! I will be there. (I can’t stay for a party, but I will go through sleet and snow for a crossfit watertown WOD!)
December 19th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
I could stay for a cup of cheer though…
December 19th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
OH, and sign me up for the nutrition thing too.
December 19th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
David– we have ‘em and we are ‘em! See the latest update! Traffic is nasty in H20town.
But we love your do or die attitude!
December 19th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
What’s the record for # of posts in a row…seriously, if Sue doesn’t have the chili there tonight, we can eat it Monday and just drink beer tonight.
December 19th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
I even bought a sled. Beer and sledding for time. That sounds sooooo dangerous that I think I’m in love with it.
December 19th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
And I think I hold the record for posts in a row. 5, I believe. (Melissa, check me on that?)
December 19th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Ok, so today’s WOD is to drink enough beer to have 50 Burpees? We’ll be in California for the New Years WOD.
Will the gym be open tomorrow morning? What about Sunday? I’ve got the reindeer and huskies ready to go…
December 19th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Or maybe it was 4.
December 19th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Tomorrow morning — Yes!
Sunday morning — yes!
December 19th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
I’m going for post #3.
December 19th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
4 — tied my old record!
December 19th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Is it 5?
December 19th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Ooooh — a new record — could it be 6?!
December 19th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
And you had to go and make a new post…
December 19th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
So, just ignore that one and continue talking here. The others are smart enough. They’ll figure it out.
BTW, EC says 3-4 Jan is open for her. Will you be back then?
December 19th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
What time monday? I may not make the wod but I’m in for the beer if I can get there after my swim clinic!!
Btw, totally enjoying “plan b” down in danbury…shots, push ups & beers!!!
December 19th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
6pm Jill
Plan B WOD — and you didn’t invite us?!
