COT:
hard skills

Not merely a difficult task. Rather, things that should be running at full speed at all times without thinking. Things that are hard-wired into our routine, into our lives. Hard skills are repped and repeated so many times that they should run in the background flawlessly. These skills are what we must find to be top performers in our lives. A few hard skills that we can focus on are:
– good attitude at all times
– being a good family leader
– pursuit of faith

We also talked about the marvels of modern surgical abilities.

The Quest for Halloween Decorations

AO: shamruck
Q: Mermaid
PAX: Eliza, Toretto, Mailbox, Anchorman, Ribbed, Dumpster Dive, Crawlspace, Mermaid
FNGs: None
COUNT: 8
We moved fast, and covered a lot of ground today. We were seeking Halloween Decorations with two specific stops in mind. We were 4 minutes late as a result, and did the COT on the fly during the last half mile.

COT Topic was about my daughter and critical thinking, as she was uncomfortable with a question in school. The paraphrase was something like why do we teach children religion, and the answer was that they are impressionable. She said that made her uncomfortable and we were able to have a great conversation about discernment, wisdom, truth, and religion.

Also 3 runners, Toretto, Mailbox, & Anchorman. 2 Dogs joined the ruckers, and I am sorry for the blurry pic.
