Since the Theme was “Four”, we hiked over to the softball stands and stair climbed 4 fast laps up and down the rafters until my calves started yelling at me, “hey! I’m burning!” Then we did some calf raises on the curb, as if to tell my calves, “Shut it!” Then as we hiked toward the UK mountain of coal, we brainstormed famous 4’s, and hit ALL of them: 4 horsemen of the apocalypse, 4 score & 7 years ago, 4 for the 4 that stood at the door, “Fore!”, 4 sides and corners of a quadrilateral, and many more. At the top of the coal we uncovered a hidden treasure: 4 painted jaspers, smooth, flat rocks wrapped in silver foil. We were each told to keep them in our pockets at least 4 days to remind us of our connection to the earth, and to The Maker, and to be thankful. After 4 days in our pockets we were told that we could give them to a friend, keep them, or swallow them. Lastly, as we listed and debated the best 4-somes in music history while walking back, we listened to some of them: Zepplin, Rush, Beatles, Stones, Wuggles, and (Kentucky’s own Backstreet Boys). At the car site, we dropped our packs and each of the 4 of us led a 4-count exercise : 40 copperhead squats, 40 4-count merkins, 40 box cutters, 40 3-count SSHs, while we listened to “40” written by King David (psalm 40) and performed by the undeniably greatest rock quartet: my Irish lads, U2. (“I waited patiently for The Lord. He inclined and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit. Out of the mire and clay. I will sing a New Song… How long to sing this song.”)
