Neighbors New and Old

/in /by

I texted ahead to Flanigan the night before.  I didn’t want to just assume that I had the Q, not sure if one of the regulars had called dibs.  He said it was all mine.

I parked in the lot a little earlier than I might have normally.  I’m the Q, I had to cross the U-Turns, I wasnt sure if we still “planted the flag” in the same place (I forgot to ask).

Also a little early, Flanigan arrived by bike and parked in the school’s bike stand.  Cornholio, Blue Hen, and Shooting Blanks followed.  Shooting Blanks caught my tag from the night before as he was headed to Purple Cobra, came to meet some of his new neighors instead.  He was going to be late to Purple Cobra anyway 😀

It was great to see the Nutcracker Q and catch up a bit as we went throught the workout.  Awsome time PAX!
