What Does Being a R-E-S-P-E-C-T Mean?

What Does Being a R-E-S-P-E-C-T Mean?

So before we get to the workout, yesterday YHC texted Chastain to make sure he was ready for today.  He responded that he hurt himself at the beach.

So I next texted Glidah who responded he hurt himself playing tennis.

The next text went to Bottlecap who responded:

The terms of the team are classified but that’s what went down behind the scenes yesterday

Ok, ok, I get it…

Anyway, 13 HIM showed up to celebrate the man himself, Mad Dog as he tried to earn the “R” after his name today

MOLESKINE:

At COT we sat there in our 50oz of pure American sweat and reflected

Bottlecap challenged the pax to talk about what RESPECT means and the talk turned to Mad Dog

Things heard:

• Respect is to hold someone is high regard
• There are quite a few “Respects” in our midst who are truly deserving of the title
• Mad Dog has been there for others when a situation has turned sideways.  He will have the tough conservation out of love
• Mad Dog has met for coffee and talked one on one with individuals
• Mad Dog will open up and ask tough questions to others
• Mad Dog shows up, works hard, holds others accountable
• Mad Dog is held in high regard

So in closing.  Mad Dog.  Happy Birthday.  Welcome to the (R) club.  You’ve earned it and are worthy of the title.
