ANNOUNCEMENTS / COT:
-Several races next weekend
-Arthur shared some really moving comments.

The Jester is a temptation that hinders Acceleration.  We all have Jester(s).  For a lot of folks, the initial focus on identifying Jesters likely lands on common frictions: alcohol abuse, addictions, lust, etc.  But there are other arguably equally hindering Jesters lurking about: lack of empathy or grit or humility, etc.  Work on diluting your Jesters and their hinderance on you, and help others to do the same.  Be an even better version of yourself.

"While I can never outpaddle my Jester, the faster my boat is Accelerating, the harder it is for him to capsize it."

Thanks so very much for the opportunity and the support, everyone!  Enjoy your weekends.
