“Common sense is not so common.” Voltaire
A BRIEF REFLECTION ON THE EVENTS OF LAST WEEK I am appalled and terribly saddened by the assault upon our Capital building and the senseless deaths of 5 Americans. I have lots of thoughts on the events of last week, but I didn’t have sufficient time to put them into a meaningful written format. I will only say that social media keyboard discourse exacerbates many of the problems we face as a nation – it is not healthy. And, I like to think that our Diablo community represents what is possible for us as a Country: coming together daily for a common cause without regard for politics, race, gender, religion or sexual preference. I am hopeful for the future. Craig
1 MILLION FISTBUMPS! In October, Diablo CrossFit started using SugarWOD to post workouts and record results. It was extremely user friendly and allowed cool social interaction among members, who gave each other virtual fistbumps on workout performances. 4 years later, Diablo members have logged almost 200,000 workouts and given each other more than 1 million fistbumps. It’s an incredible representation of the power of positivity in our amazing community. I am extremely grateful.

CRAIG’S LIST (Stuff I’m Reading, Listening To or Watching)
Talking Elite Fitness: The Open Rulebook. Affiliate Teams are back! Tommy & Sean lay out the rules for the 2021 Open in an easy to understand way. Yes, Diablo will have a team..maybe more.
Tiger Woods on HBO. Yvonne and I closely followed Tiger’s amazing golf career so it was fascinating to watch this well done piece on his life, career, his fall from grace and his incredible comeback.
Let’s make it a much better week!
Craig
