Q: Sister Act
YHC arrived at 0458, just enough time to plant the shovel flag and meet Hei Hei at his car. We started the pre-run with weinkes in hand, making our way toward one of the places we’d be later. After placing the lights and sheets, we continued. YHC wasn’t feeling it. Not gonna lie! Thick air, long day yesterday…yeah yeah yeah. But Hei Hei left no man where he found him and stuck it out with me.
As we *walked* to the shovel flags, men were gathered and 0530 hit. Welcome, mission, core principles, and disclaimer were given, and we were on to W.

COT: ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER
We’ve all heard the phrase, and we’ve all experienced it I’m sure. What we maybe don’t think about is why that’s the case.
I’m away from MainStage today, and that’s fine, but those days I have to be out of town or like this, something feels off. Done get me wrong, I’m happy to be at Top Rope!
So I thought about it, and what I think is important to remember is that the more we give ourselves to people and places, the more they end up becoming part of who we are. As far as F3 goes, that’s awesome. As far as negative influences go, let it be a warning – be careful with who or what you give yourself to.
Here’s a quote: “Absence is to experience what wind is to fire: it extinguished the small, it inflames the great.”
Where do you need use absence to extinguish or inflame?
Aye!
