PAX came from all around just to be a part of the madness. Hellos were said, virtual fist bumps were in attendance, disclaimer was given. Gaylord was late… #lego

We circled about 4-5 times then continued to the other side of AO parking lot by sand volleyball court.

Circle of Trust
On bended knee we prayed for Mr. Miyagi, Blowfish, and all those in need of the SKY Q’s healing hand. We thanked the Sky Q for giving us the strength to get up, get out, give it all we got. To give us the fortitude to be better friends, husbands, brothers, fathers, and leaders in the community.
When life kicks you hard… Run if you can, Walk if you have to, Crawl if you must… but never give up!
Naked Man Moleskin
Truth be told YHC totally forgot I was on Q the night before and HC’d to celebrate Crab leg’s 2nd Anniversary Q at OP. Thanks to a certain Commz Q 2.0 that made me aware of the sitch… but not before I EH’d a few good PAX to show at OP for my 80’s hairband lovin’ brothern Crab Legs. Needless to say I had to go back to the drawing board to EH some PAX and I’m pleased with the numbers for this Q and everything over the last week over all AOs. To be honest I was sick of holding Dark Tower attendance on my shoulders like the Greek God ATLAS. It’s a hard thing for us to go into hiding for a few months, get out of our comfort zone, then get comfortable in quarantine, and then get OUT OF THAT COMFORT ZONE. So we have to get back to the basics. Call, text, email, ring doorbells, ask M’s, etc… anything to reach down into the fire of comfortability and pull our PAX back to an AO where they belong. Covid 19 aside, we as humans need that interaction, we need to breathe that fresh air, we need to see and be seen, we need the face to face encouragement. Our immune systems can use a little jolt back to life. I challenge each and everyone to grab one PAX that may need to post and get them out ITG with you… (or virtually.. blah blah…as long as it’s safe..blah blah blah…*insert SNL Debbie Downer music here*). Jokes aside..They need it, you need it. Keep digging boys!!
