At first glance, the appearance of our structure here at FTI can sometimes be mistaken for a rag-tag, disorganized, piece-meal organization populated by a collection of losers, rejects, and numb-o's with little to no ability. Though this is closer to reality than not, I do feel we have instilled some type of pride and level of competence that, as described in the "Tell Us What You Want Us To Ponder" sidebar, has qualified our group to be known as "near-award winning". This description was recently verified upon notification that a select group of representatives of FTI had placed at a recent "Deep Thinking" competition. The competition was tough, the quandary's were complex, the scenarios near impossible. Our representatives were up to the challenge, though. They competed against some of the brightest and best 9 year olds in the region on a head to head basis. Anxiously awaiting the notification, we received word yesterday that TEAM FTI had finished 6th in the Lightweight Division.
It is a significant milestone for our team and I share this award with our 2 faithful readers as a sign that you are not wasting your time here on a daily basis. There is, indeed, intellectual merit occurring at this site. We have the award to prove it. I have not notified our staff that all finishing 6 places were recognized for achievement. Why create confusion?
