#Thunder hosts 21 for a Splinter birthday extravaganza

“Where is my brother?”  The question was posed by Chaser about three minutes prior to the start of Tuesday’s Thunder workout. Suddenly a figure wearing a dark hoodie appeared from the gloom.  Removing his hood F3Columbia’s sensei uttered the two most familiar words to all pax, “let’s go.”  And with that, Splinter’s birthday bash was underway.  This beatdown was more of a demonstration of defiance against age than a celebration.
