Great to see Old Bay at #thegeneral this morning, working hard through the beat down and also as a one man film crew.

COT: “To quote the great UCLA college basketball coach, John Obi-Wan Gandalf, “It is our choices, gentlemen, what show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” — Ted Lasso
Life is an accumulation of decisions that we make. Coming out in the gloom is a great example, to improve ourselves. So are the things we do to lift up others.
