Just some random Saturday. For some reason (nothing to do with @ChickDip tagging me) I rolled up my sleeves and dove in the new HOF groups.

What is old is new again.
The drama
The anger
The passion

To see it so far removed, it still feels like yesterday, but with a new prospective.

Experience tells you what is about to happen before it does because you can recognize the signs.

As the dust up in August 25 continues I am reminded of the vets told me and continued to for many, many days.

I am glad I am there to continue to pass on the wisdom that was given to me through the interactions here.

I do miss the format of this site and not fan of the discord model with the bots doing roll call. There is something to be said for the way this format forced you to engage.

The next +1.

Everyday there is a urge to go a little further, a little deeper, a little more invested in yourself.

Once every 100 days there appears a number that is awesome and celebrated, but it is the day after, the day everything goes back to “normal” that is more important than those zeros.

It is the next +1. The - - 01. It’s just a little sexier than the day before. 

You said this is not the end but another beginning. All beginnings come from some other beginnings end.

Today is 1,827 days.... 5 years Quit.

I haven’t missed a day of roll yet, come close a few times, but something or someone always pulls me back. For that I am thankful and blessed.

Thank you KTC

Catch you on roll in the AM

You rock, my friend.  It is hard to imagine KTC without your presence and passion.
