COT
Borrowing from Freed to Lead, QIC discussed the idea of, “I am Third,” which Dread and OBT subsequently borrowed from Brian’s Song. QIC acknowledged that every PAX there had their own recollection of 9/11, and while there would be tributes, memorials, and celebrations all day that would capture that better than YHC could, it was important to remember the one key outcome from that day that might get overlooked. There would be many talks about how everyone came together on that day and for the days following. The word “Unity” would be used often, but what would be discussed less often — but was possibly more important — is the number of Americans who on that day and in the days following set aside themselves, their personal needs and wants, and made themselves third to serve their friends, families, coworkers, neighbors, and strangers. We need that as much in 2020 as we did in 2001.
Moleskin
Salute to NordicTrack who outpaced all of us this morning. Special recognition also to Roomba, who was tackling his first 5-workout week, yet still managed to finish the second most reps and was one of only three to complete five circuits. Well done, gentlemen.
