ANNOUNCEMENTS: Join the new announcements channel that Anchorman setup. I have it on good authority that announcements will in fact be posted there soon. In the meantime: AMBAB 1/25, Summit’s hike 2/1, Super Bowl squares 2/10, ARC 3/1.

COT: Yesterday saw the beginning of a new administration, which impacted a lot of people in a lot of different ways. Politics has always been about different ideas and people disagreeing. The difference now seems to be a lack of civility. Let’s bring back civility in our day-to-day as we encounter ideas we don’t agree with.

FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
WARMUP: SSH; LBAC; MP; WMH; DD
THE THANG: Rambler announced he had no gloves – once he located Doodles cashmere isotoners the workout could resume. Rotated through a series of exercises with each pax calling 10 reps.

COT: I will leave you with this link – the Autreys are my ancestors and they appreciated a good breezeway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autrey_House
