Epic does not begin to cover what went down at the High Life this evening.\u00a0 Unwitting pax assembled and reluctantly exited their cars to see what was in store.\u00a0 Oh the stories they will tell their grandchildren for generations to come.<\/p>\n

There were exercises, sure, but so much more unfolded that is the stuff of legend.<\/p>\n

As the Q began, the ghost of Toto-past appeared asking if attempting to do a warmorama in a busy parking lot was the safe thing to do.\u00a0 So, eschewing calls of time wasting from the Nantan (it was in Italian, so it was either that or he called me a son of a motherless goat), the pax moseyed to the parking lot of neighboring school to get warm in peace.<\/p>\n

As we moseyed, the pax marveled at the sleek and aerodynamic leg of Blue Steel.\u00a0 Evidently the wrap job of his new sponsor, Crazy Kevin Powell Motorsports, has not come in yet, so he had to go with basic grey.\u00a0 However there is nothing basic about this appendage.\u00a0 Blue Steel proceeded to do a back hand spring and pass out the most perfect espressos before we started the 3-4 man grinders!\u00a0 It was a lovely and unexpected play on grinding coffee.\u00a0 I tell ya, that Blue Steel never ceases to amaze!<\/p>\n

Officially grinding the workout to a halt, the pax moseyed down the hill to the AARP training facilities.\u00a0 Some of Winston’s finest workers were repairing a bus stop to our left, and a young and quite fit dude decided he wanted no part of the smoke that Hot Dish was bringing.\u00a0 As we did some things to help the time pass, baseball and Italy came up.\u00a0 The Q was attempting to brag about his beloved Diamond Dogs who have already launched 70 dingers early in the season, but the Nantan quickly shifted and hijacked the conversation to the flailing Deacons, their excessive walks, how he played in the World Series, and just returned from a 4 month safari in the jungles of Italy.\u00a0 Not to be outdone, Hot Dish joined in about his travels to the same and other tropical locales, effectively shutting the bumpkin Q out of the conversation.\u00a0 (going to Rome, Georgia does not meet their standards)<\/p>\n

As conversation increased and effort decreased, the Q had them mosey to another spot for one more set of fun from Lemming’s favorite cartoon.\u00a0 The world travelers stuck together, and much like how Goofy treats his driver, left YHC to do all the work and counting.<\/p>\n

As time wrapped up, we headed back to where we started and called it a day.<\/p>\n
