Yes, and he serves on FIRST organizational committees and seems pretty invested (team does a lot of outreach, too), which is one reason I thought it was a good fit. So that's another reason I am so confused. I tend to put it all away when the season is over, and on certain days during the season, too (family to raise and all that). I can't do FIRST without a break. But when I am there I am all in. Time is our most precious resource.
