MARY: we did some, but I forgot what they are
ANNOUNCEMENTS: there were some, and among them was the ruck and float, but I don’t remember the others.
COT: you see a theme emerging, forgetfulness. Rambler had the Q, but apparently forgot when he decided to go to New York. The bot then told us Rambler had the Q, and I responded with some dumb thing. This prompted Rambler to “anoint“ me to be the Q. Rambler did not tell us why he was going to New York, so we’ll have to use our imaginations. I think he had some job related thing and was being very responsible by going to New York. Others can contribute their own speculations. But I digress…
My COT was about not forgetting the meaningful people and goals you have in your life
