COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
13 HIMS with 1 FNG, Welcome Scrubs! Kudos for driving all the way from Clinton.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Plugged the book “Point Man” by Steve Farrar

Discussed the importance of Quantity vs Quality of time spent with our kids/family. It’s impossible to know when you will have a “teaching moment”, especially with younger kids. There is a major issue in America today and a lot of it stems from a lack of male leadership, hence the importance of F3’s mission. In order to make a lasting and impactful impression on our families, we need to be spending a lot of time with them. There is a negative trope often portrayed in media that fathers are supposed to spend “quality” time with their children (i.e. being the fun dad by taking kids for ice cream), however, we need to be sure we aren’t neglecting “quantity” time with our children.
MOLESKIN:
Shoutout to Dartgun for taking my jab at doing 50 thrusters to heart and knocking them out like the beast he is.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Hardship Hill this Saturday. Even if you’re not racing, consider coming out for a bit to check it out and encourage the team.
