ANNOUNCEMENTS:
stair climb signup. If there is anyone not doing it that is willing to Q Potomac Rising that day let me know.

Today is technically thirsty 3rd Thursday but perhaps we should consult the moon’s current lunar phase to decide if that’s actually happening. Decision was made to bump to next thurs at a minimum.

COT:
went to Vegas over the weekend with my wife. It was awesome and we truly enjoyed some one on one time. Just a reminder to make sure you do that every now and again not just with your spouse although that one might be the most important but anyone you want to maintain your connection with. Connections are a funny thing between humans. If you’re lucky enough to have one, try to keep it. They matter.
