Lunch Box Quotes - The Cognitive Warrior Project

One of the more annoying things about construction and having to wear glasses (because you can barely read the tape measure) is that my pencil no longer sits behind my ear. Don’t get me wrong, not seeing the tape measure is more annoying, but I have already accepted that. Number 1 is in the middle of the Gorge, and I don’t know if he can receive today’s quote, but I am going to send it anyway…four o’clock on Friday is the target time. For the others, tonight starts what will be, I think, 8 games over the next few days. That is a lot of concession stand food. It is going to be awesome though, first home games of the season for 2 and 3!

As a reminder, Lunch Box Quotes are notes I include in the kids’ lunches every day. Number 1 gets a text, but 2-4 get handwritten napkins.
