CoT
Balance. It’s a twist on a common theme all week at the various CoT’s I have had the honor to be in. We do a lot of things in our lives…notable right now is F3 and the time we share together in the gloom. Most of us are giving it our all out here. Are we doing this at home too? At work? With our various hobbies? We all have many things throughout our day that we undoubtedly try to take on. Let’s make sure we are practicing balance so that we can give everything the attention that it deserves.

Picked up the Q about 3 seconds before Columbus could. Had been about 10 days since my last Q and the Complex is ALWAYS scheduled far out so I couldn’t pass up the chance!
Great group of men came out to support. Appreciate all of you.
