Before we get to my takeaways from the 2018 survey (which you can view here) I want to say how sad I was to hear about OKC Dave’s father passing. He wrote about that experience here, and boy it was terrific.
After I grew up a little and had my own kids, I slowly realized that the best part of all of this stuff is sitting side by side with family and friends, sharing the experiences of big wins and heartbreaking losses that creates a strong bond that lasts a lifetime. For the first time, I won’t have my dad by my side on Thursday night.
