I wrote an amazing Backblast. It was funny and clever. I documented the things we did with great style and passion. But then I did not click submit and my phone went to sleep and when I came back to the Slack app, my pre-blast draft was gone.
Moleskin: write and submit your Backblasts all at one time, because drafts are not saved.

An encouragement to diligent, faithful work with a long term perspective. For me, I’ve seen fruit in leading my kids, leading our group, and taking care of our yard. You’ll have good days and bad days, but focusing on the long term, being faithful and diligent in your efforts, leads to good and gives me encouragement to take on the challenging moments

WOR:
I don’t know because I wasn’t there. I have to assume SSHs and Abe Vigodas and/or Tappy Taps were involved.
The Thang:
The PAX that showed up on time rucked east toward my house. I woke up in a panic at 5:37am.
The PAX continued to ruck toward my house. I frantically put my shoes on and rushed out to the car.
The PAX made their way across Main Street. I made my way across Main Street going the other way.
The PAX turned south on Washington and neared my house. I arrived at ao_ground_zero and chose to call an Audible—literally—to find out what direction everyone went.
The PAX answered my call to say they were going to take a picture in front of my house. I informed them I was not there and would meet them at the end.
We all continued our rucks and met up at the flag at 6:15 because, you know “Something, something…end on time.”

If you have kids, make memories with them.
