Name-o-rama

For those of you who were out in the gloom with us Monday, you heard my brother Blow Out talk about getting up every morning and challenging yourself; be better than you were the day before. Those thoughts resonated with me and I thought I would expand on them a bit. There is a great quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson in which he said, “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” I love that statement because it reminds us that we ultimately choose our outcome. Think about the things that matter most to you in your life; your family, your career, your health, whatever they may be. What are you doing to ensure you are in charge of your own destiny in all those facets? How are you making yourself better?

Prayers for Ray Banks and Happy Camper’s co-worker’s son

I appreciate Boston Butt taking on the Site Q duties this morning (that should have been mine) and having my 6. It really helped that he was able to support the FNG which allowed me to focus on leading the beatdownn.
