Santa Ruck in the AM at Tower Rd. and F3 Christmas Party at 6 PM at the Tutterows (a.k.a. the Baskins'es). Please HC and don't forget to bring a White Elephant gift (~$20).Naked-Man Moleskin:
YHC had the opportunity to tour the 911 Memorial and Museum this week. Some takeaways include:- Make the most of each day - you never know which one will be your last
- Multiple stories about the heros who carried people down flights of stairs to safety - do hard things now and you know you'll be able to do them when you have to
- Make sure the people closest to you know how how important they are to you. There is a section of the museum where they play recordings from passengers calling their loved ones from the last plane that went down, but many weren't able to make that call
- Go on YouTube and look up and watch "BOATLIFT" - 12 minutes you will not regret. Loved the message about never wanting to say "I should have." Aye!
