A Foreword from Terrence James:
Resilience - the capacity to withstand or to recover from difficulties; toughness.
Most of you would assume this is Carter kicking off the newsletter with his word of the day.
Wrong.
Carter has shown a lack of resilience this week (rightfully so) as he’s on the west coast celebrating his amazing wife’s birthday. But resilience knows no boundaries.
Speaking of resilience, I’m coming off quite the resilient weekend. I drove 3.5 hours to Charlottesville, VA on Thursday for a Friday wedding, then back to Baltimore, MD at 7am for a Saturday wedding the next day.
You know what I needed on Sunday after back to back performances?
Rest.
You know what I got instead?
After it.
You got it, popped out to support the Ravens. “Oh you drove 3.5 hours for two weddings in a weekend, big whoop…”
Night 1 (Thursday) - 19, 7, and 2
19 miles driven on backroads to a welcome party because we were in the middle of nowhere
7 hours of sleep on an air mattress
2 beers drank because I had to drive because there were no Ubers
Day/Night 2 (Friday) - 13, 5, and 1
13 tequila tonic with limes
5 hours of sleep on an air mattress
1 chance to get better the next day
Day/Night 3 (Saturday) - 173, 3, 1, and 0.5
173 miles driven home at 7am
3 times I saw the MSU football collapse happening before it actually happened
1 time I had to pick my girlfriend up after slipping on the dance floor
a half power hour organized by the bride to end her wedding.
I’m still standing here today because of two things. God and resilience.
Sports betting is a roller coaster but the great ones know it takes resilience.
