It’s been talked about a few times at COT this year. Get off your phones. I have committted to setting it down for 2 hours a night. Last I Got home and forgot. My wife commented on it. ouch. I was out til 10:00 for work Two nights this week and the first thing I did was break out my phone. It’s a constant battle. I need to enjoy my time with family and live in the moment. We’re never perfect but we can always get better.

I have only Q’d about a dozen times so I don’t consider myself an experienced Q. I was a little nervous trying to prepare a Q in about a half hour. I looked at the list of HCs and tried to prepare a workout that would challenge everyone. A few Pax mentioned to me at the end that they enjoyed the workout which I really appreciate. Also, nice to see the comments on Slack about leading by picking up a last minute Q. Hope Poutine is doing ok.
Great seeing Buttermaker. It’s been about a year since I’ve worked out with him…a true HIM
