Reverend Al Sharpton closing out the conference.

Knicks winning and seeing Sharpton all in less than 24 hrs is very much giving my childhood in NY.

It’s rainy and cold outside. I figure I’ll have a light class. But I’m sitting in my car in the parking lot seeing all these people walking into the gym for my class.

And I whispered to myself… “they coming to see you, Otis” 🤣

Every time I wanna quit, I’m reminded of members telling me I only come to your class. This is the only time I work out. And I press on…
