COUNT: 10
WARMUP: It was glorious. Despite being sick, the Q was in a good mood
THE THANG: Things soured quickly for the Q as the Q had to explain is overly simplified dice game to the PAX. Some PAX just couldn’t understand the rules. Other PAX made an effort, but it wasn’t good enough and the Q’s mood quickly turned cold. Some said the Q became aggressive. They are wrong. And stupid.
MARY: At this point the Q was delirious with rage. Maybe we did some dead star fish. Maybe not. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Shirt Order, 2F event at Blue Steel’s.
COT: Drive towards mission. What are your goals? Are they towards just being/existing? Or are you driving towards something important and meaningful? Are your goals for your work, family, life driving towards something? Or are you just being?

COT:

As we celebrate Hanukkah this week, then Christmas, and New Years, and the joy that usually accompanies this season, please remember the hostages in Gaza taken by Hamas over two months ago. Let’s also keep the IDF soldiers and the Palestinian civilians in our thoughts and prayers through the holidays.

In a poll taken a day before the October 7th attacks, less than 25% of residents of the Gaza Strip said they would vote for Hamas if given the opportunity, and more than two-thirds said they have little or no trust in the terrorist organization. https://www.arabbarometer.org/media-news/most-gaza-residents-do-not-support-hamas-according-to-poll-conducted-a-day-before-october-7-attacks/
