Substitute Teacher at The General


YHC rolled in to the General AO around 0520, after dropping off a few toys (more on this below) near the entrance.

Around this time, YHC saw Tagless running into the AO, presumably finishing up a (solo?) Standard.  Tagless noticed YHC dropping off said toys and said something to the effect of "uh oh."

As the pax began to assemble in the parking lot, Tagless made his way to the Westmoreland Park facilities to take care of an urgent issue that had apparently just come up.  Unfortunately, the facilities were determined to be locked, leaving Tagless with, I'm guessing, one of two options.  He decided to make a hasty exit in his car, and that was the last we saw of him this morning.  Hope you made it in time, brother.

Also present at the AO in the minutes before the workout commenced was Omega, who it appeared may have run a Standard as well (with Soprano?  Or did Omega and Soprano both run with Tagelss?)……but he too departed, saying that he needed to get home.

After all of the comings and goings, we had 10 pax.  FNG-1 is Three Rivers (still not on site? gotta get you added, brother!).  OK, let's go……
