Where’s the Starbucks at Parliament?
QIC: BAM
Date: 9/15/2020
PAX: Harden, (strong, silent type) Total Recall (WB), Rustbucket (WD), Boomerang (just old), Ziggy Stardust (Covid free and proud to be)
For some reason, Sour Mash called out YHC on the Twitter a while back to help fill out the Q calendar in support of new site Q. Happy to oblige, YHC went looking for the last time I Q’d there, turns out it was a little over 4 years ago! Assuming the school hadn’t removed the benches out front and the blocks were still in abundance, and that none of these pax were at the beatdown way back then, much was recycled.
Although, some partner pull and push exercises were done last time and those are clearly non-covid compliant, so YHC had to actually do some planning. Ugh.
Anyhoo, thanks to the google maps, the Q was able to find his way to the AO on time – basically turn left at the last remaining internet cafe in the eastern US, and you’re there.
Boomerang was already in the parking lot, YHC thinks he showed up at 5:30 yesterday afternoon and just hung around so he wasn’t late. #bankershours
A Ziggy came rolling in, and a TR, and the pax could smell/hear Rustbucket rolling in. YHC is genuinely starting to think he had to sell his sweet new ride to pay for his knee surgery, oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
Surprisingly, there were no loud and proud #WeFoCo pax when we started. Thankfully, Harden fixed that to join us during warm-o-rama. He came in and promptly took over the pleasant conversation the pax were having and made it all about him. #typical

NMM
- If you can’t tell, Harden didn’t speak, but was friendly when spoken too (don’t poke the bear)
- Overall was a quiet group, other than groans during block work
- TR invited pax to join him for coffee since his GAS group ditched him. He said we could go to Starbucks near there, the blank stares from pax wondering where that was, led him to change, well isn’t there a Bojangles right “there”? Still more odd looks made the pax wonder if his GAS group really wasn’t meeting today or not. (BTW 421 and I-40 are different exits)
