Master IPF Bench - Helen S. & Mary – I have the mo

After the Master Bench Worlds in Miami I went on a cruise. (The rumor is not true, I did not get kicked off for wearing Speedos.) Hutch, who knows enough about everything to be dangerous, advised us that when gambling on a cruise ship, play the slots the first two nights, but not afterward – they tighten them up. With that, Mary, Helen Sauer’s friend, gave me some money to gamble for her. I played slots for her the first night and got a 3,500% return on her money!! Mary, I have saved the money and the next time I see you I will pay off – YES, YOUR 10 CENTS IS NOW $3.50!!!
Hutch, you’re the man again.
Holly Oxford, it was great having you on the same cruise, we could talk a little weight lifting and have a familiar face in the ship’s gym. Congrats again on your Silver at the worlds and remember: it was just a coincidence that we were on the same ship – stick to our story.
While I am at it – Kevin and Nectar, thanks again for the awesome coaching job at the Worlds. Also, in some small way I hope I gave you some new insight in coaching with the “achieve the objectives” system. However, Nectar, your idea about achieving “two birds with one stone” in that system is still disturbing.
There are too many great performances by the USA team to mention here – and an honorable mention to the waitress, Elaina, at the Hotel’s Sports Bar & Grill.
The Great Britain team was also great to hang around with, and Julian – the steaks are better and cheaper in California.
