The previous record was six years. I had a coffee meeting with a guy in town from New York because he heard about the gym and wanted to get involved when he moved. Two years later we met again because he was getting close to moving. Then, COVID happened and after two more years he finally moved out and joined DEUCE.
A six year wait.
I did an Intro Session last month with a woman from the neighborhood who was the first person to walk in and ask me about the new gym space. Every 180 days or so for the last thirteen years we’d bump into each other for a three minute chat.
Thirteen years became the new record.
Tomorrow night three kids (adults now) from my high school class are coming to GPP and I guess what I’m trying to say is the universe wants us to be kind and connected. While the time scale isn’t in our control and it’s a mystery what may come of it, one thing is true.
The best time to be kind to someone was 25 years ago and the second best time is today.
