We have wanted a Friday AO in the far west end for a while.
Meet in the bus Loop at Mills Godwin HS – same location as Circus Maximus
Grand open 5/8 to accommodate the pax that are saving up energy for Ollivander, TYA and Saab Capital trail Century.

NAME THAT AO!
Taking suggestions on a AO name. Preference given to Local Historical Significance, Native American names (or anything West), and XY chromo themes.
To celebrate the opening of Bistro 804 5 + 2 high impact men rolled out of the fartsack on a rainy morning. Here is how it went down, more or less.
Mosey Hepler, Paris, Forest to Tuckahoe Shopping Center
COP: DQ x10, Helicopter x10, IW x10, Chinook x10, WW2 x10, Hello Dolly x20.
20 corners. 4 corners x5. Run long ends. Alternate King Crab (Crab walk 5steps + 2 count Crab Cake) and Polar Bear (Bear Crawl 5 steps and merkin) on the short sides. 1 exercise each corner intended to attend to the whole man: body, soul, and spirit.
Mosey BTTF. Handshake took us out. Prayers for friends and family with Covid.

A hilarious story told about a man v. raw oysters and how he let his wife take care of it in the end. At our cool down, Circle K demonstrated the finesse it takes to open a raw oyster for all to see.
I am not sure how it was worked in there but somehow BTS is the modern day Beatles – that caused some debate and comparisons with New Kids on the Block. I think it ended with a simple definition of the world.

Hutton and YHC discussed music tastes, Hutton mentioned GOGO music and that got me thinking about the weird nexus of punk, reggae, and go go in DC in the eighties – all of that was the formative stage setter for Nirvana as David Grohl came out of that scene hailing from Springfield VA. Just ask Shakedown.
There are some good rockumentaries:
3 groups of 6 social distance warriors came out today to stretch their legs and verify their lungs remain relatively clear during these times.
