16 dusted off their dancing shoes, made their way through the fog and came out for a Presidential morning. Pre-launch talk about breakfast pizza and the weather. With the disclaimer read, we moseyed.

Mosey to warehouse parking lot and circle up.

COT

During the workout and in COT, we discussed the Margin. What are we doing with our extra time? We all talk and/or think about being a better father, husband, co-worker, friend, neighbor, (fill in the blank). But what are we doing to make that a reality? What actions are we taking to move us from where we are to where we “say” we want to be?

CSPAN shared his BullsEye principal.  M>2.0s>ShieldLocks>Blades>Work. Obviously, the vertical relationship (the most important one, BTW) is with the Sky Q.   We also discussed struggles of not being able to communicate or handle opposing views. This election has really divided some folks; people that are close to us, people we call our friends, people we love. Great advice is to Ask>Listen>Recall. You don’t have to agree, but respect them, and your relationship with them, enough to listen.

As always, I am humbled to lead such a group of HIM. Thank you for the opportunity.
See you in the gloom!
