CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out for a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle, victorious”
– Vince Lombardi

Obviously, we know what he was referring to when he said this.  However, in my opinion the more difficult thing is finding that good cause for which to work your heart out.  The hard part at least to me is to find where you can utilize your strengths for a great cause, but that is a challenge we should all be looking for: to find that cause that we can exhaust ourselves and works our hearts out for.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
8 PAX pushed hard and started this Thursday off right.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Legacy.  John Ward passed away.  Most of us grew up with his voice before every UT football and basketball game was on TV.  Many of us turned down the TV to listen to his broadcast even when it was on TV.  While there are tributes and memories from many about his role as a broadcaster, I thought about how I’ve never heard anyone say a negative word about him.  I’ve heard stories of him taking time to talk to people and always being gracious.  No matter how small or large our circle of influence is, we will leave a legacy by how we treat everyone we meet.
MOLESKIN:
As A-Rod mentioned, with vacations thru the summer, let’s make sure and show up when we can and grab those Qs.
