28 people showed for this my VQ and in celebration of 1 year since my first post resulted in a heart attack. I since have had 2 stints put in my heart and have been working out since August last year.

YHC and my future M were supposed to get married today. The world had other plans. With an extra 3ish (hopefully) months to shed off a few more lbs before an afternoon long photoshoot, there’s no better time than the present to Q on a steamy Saturday morning. Roughly 10 former and current bachelors took part in DogPile’s nuptials on this beautiful May Day. COP Mosey to the green grove close to the “Ha Ha” Stage, circle up F3 Welcome, Matra and Disclaimer (welcome Flex Seal from Hick’rah, North Carolina). Always wonderful to host a guest from YHC’s home state.…

Ten PAX joined up in four groups of four or two groups of eight or sixteen groups of one to break the monotony of the Quarantine, experience some human interaction, and find someone to talk to. The PAX chose this week’s number-challenged Dogpile. With YHC having the Q, accurate counting, per usual, was not only optional, but discouraged…temperatures and weather were a seasonally perfect sunny and 70. Here is, with some editorial license and a solid dose of suspension of disbelief, more or less what happened. Mosey to the intersection of Park and Blanton, then down Rugby to Wilbon to…
