Imaginary Friends and Restaurant Recommendations

Imaginary Friends and Restaurant Recommendations

QIC: Starfish

Date: 11/14/2023

PAX: Giles (WB), Starfish (WD, QIC)

It was starting to feel a bit lonely sitting in YHC’s car at 0529 this morning.  Several thoughts popped into YHC’s head such as:

• “Where’s @Frostbite?  Oh yeah, it’s his 3rd anniversary…”
• “Where’s @BAM?  What did I do to cause his boycott of my Qs this past week?”
• “Wonder if I could make it downtown and find @Wobegon and the Flatline guys”
• “Maybe I’m overexposed trying to pull off 3 Qs in one week”
• “This kinda feels like the early days of F3 Austin when I would show up and work out alone.”
• “Working out alone really sucks.”

But then, @Giles pulled up and YHC’s spirits were immediately lifted.  And the rough outline of a plan went through an on-the-fly revision to invite our imaginary friends to join us.  See below for who else showed up.

We both decided our imaginary friends are much tougher than they seem.  Legs were jelly on the way back in.

Only 1.07 miles covered but 4.1 on the Garmin effect and a $h!+ ton of reps.

Great to be with @Giles this morning.  #IronSharpensIron

And thanks to @Giles for the recommendation of a great new place to take my recent 21 year-old niece for her first legal drink tonight in NYC.  Same place he had his first legal beer.  Wait for it…..TGI Friday’s in Times Square.  Can’t wait…. 😉

Missed all you guys that weren’t there.

Your friend,

Starfish
