Sure, everyone deals with it, but obligations from work and life in general sometimes take more precedence in life that we wish. April has required a lot more attention, as you might guess. So, Capt. Ponycard has just had to take a back seat. Granted we aren't really training for anything at the moment. <br /><br />Regardless, I look forward to volunteering for the RBTR and will cheer you both on!

Usually I am actually prepared and I just force myself to take it easy that week and rely on our training up to that point. It's really hard mentally to not try and drill things. <br /><br />Our last show I hadn't ever run through First Three with Mort and it all worked out. I'm sure your experience will help Stan through it!Burn the Mortgagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15914753764844797433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543945977774319437.post-82273400766398836432017-07-25T08:53:22.122-04:002017-07-25T08:53:22.122-04:00Thank you.
