"Cal" refers to our once golden state of California.

"Grit" can have a couple of very different meanings:

  1. It can refer to sandpaper or to something that has a rough texture like sand rubbing on your skin.

  2. Another meaning, which is what we are applying here, has to do with our human personalities. Someone with Grit is courageous, has backbone, stamina, endurance and resolution. Tackling the challenges we are undertaking will require this kind of "GRIT" to survive and to achieve our goals.
