NM: This was a tough one today. Our FNG disappeared for awhile but came back to life for the playground and Mary session. Way to keep hanging in brother! It will get better and easier. But this was a hard day. Make no mistake about that fact. The humidity was pretty thick for sure.

Honor and pleasure to lead The Yank. Great AO and even better guys. Welcome GQ! looking forward ot seeing you in the gloom brother!
