YHC checked the schedule late Sunday night, worried that he might have forgotten about a Q. Instead, YHC saw that Marlin was listed for the Q. Lets Get It, Baby! YHC cuddled up under the covers, looking forward to a Rock City morning of inspiration and encouragement from our resident coffee-drinking-bike-riding PAX.
But alas, it was not meant to be.
The morning 55 degree chill must’ve been enough to keep Marlin home in bed. Brrrr…. He might not have had enough clothes to keep warm in this bone-chilling weather. So at 5:30, YHC tried to do his best impression, and with a “Lets Get It, Baby” the PAX took off into the morning gloom.

Count-off, Name-o-rama (welcome back, Mambi!!! Glad to see Frac didn’t permanently scar you with that name choice!), and finish with our morning prayers. Remember those who are sick, those who are travelling, those in the middle of war zones.
NMM: YHC really wanted to hit the snooze button this morning. At 5:00 am, I just didn’t think I had it in me to get out and do this. But words from Dredd – If you hit snooze, you’ve lost your first battle of the day – made me drag my lazy butt out of bed; I did not want to start the week with a defeat. The surprise opportunity to Q was a welcome start to the week: it allowed me to begin with a full U-Turn from where it could have been – instead of fartsacking alone, I was blessed with a chance to step up and lead. Thank you all for letting me run with the Q. And may you all have an inspired and successful week.
