COT:
Timekeeping quote from Mitch Albom – thanks to @GnarlyGoat: “Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. an alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.”

And from Michael Easter with Thanks to Major Payne: “Perhaps when we recognize that death is a reality we must all face, we may then realize that life is not only a pleasure but a kind of eccentric privilege.”

ANNOUNCEMENTS: @Bone says this month, unlike last, he’ll organize a 2ndF event — so stay tuned! IronPAX Zero Week this Friday at #thepatriot. 9/11 Stair Climb at Lincoln Memorial 0600 – arrive early 0545-ish. If you’re interested in heading down to the F3 10-year, it’s just 37 days away. We’re organizing clown cars now. Sign up is at: https://f310year.com/

COT: Sad Clown Syndrome is what we fight against in F3 — rescuing others from it, but also ensuring we don’t fall victim as well. Getting too ingrained into a constant routine can allow us to become sad clowns, so we need to be intentional about shaking things up and moving outside our comfort zones. Look for ways to make an impact. Impact occurs through service, so look around and find those opportunities. Look on the 3rdF Slack channel. The Afghanistan refugee influx and Ida are two current events in our world that provide ways to serve others. Or simply lead, and gather others up for a service project. Be that light that others need, and simultaneously protect yourself from SCS (Sad Clown Syndrome)! Aye!
