Nine wistful gentlemen emerged from the mist and assembled as early rays brightened the Tuckahoe shire. Polite conversation explored social norms of abrupt Q leadership transitions. Topics probed included timing of communication, channels, appropriate excuse disclosure, and how the situation presents an opportunity for the group to step up. The group settled on a hot potato approach with Handshake taking the first rotation promptly at 5:30am. As the group – perfectly proportioned for triple checks – moseyed toward Lindsay they sensed a disturbance. Suddenly, out of the gloom emerged a raging machine guided seemingly by a man possessed. The nine…
