Lots going on in the wee hours of Ballantyne at the famed Stonehenge launch site. First, the Q (me, Frehleys Comet) takes off and leads the PAX but jumps the gun by leaving the lone FNG by himself in the parking lot tying his shoes. Always the observer, Tiger “keen eye” Rag noticed and stayed behind to assist. Thanks TR for picking me up! At coffee hour after the workout, I was given a Twitter lesson by TR and Wingman which is hilarious because I won’t remember any of it. Anyone want to volunteer to be a Stonehenge Twitter Q???? What the hell is hash tag anyway? Sounds like something I smoked in the 70’s once or twice. Then to top it all off, Wingman somehow loses his car keys despite opening the car with them…he spotted them in the grass and we aren’t real sure how they got there. Anyway, crisis averted (the crisis being he needed a ride home from me and I really needed to get home for round II after too much coffee). Sorry mods if that was TMI….On to the workout….
