Smile reprise

Shirtless man next to a Iowa Hawkeye statue
Warm enough to sweat without a shirt. University of Iowa.

Felt great to saddle up yesterday and blog without using quotes.

Makes me smile.

Been taking pictures since receiving that first camera as a child. Received a free plastic camera. Our gas station had a promotion that you could get a free camera with a fill up.

Makes me smile.

Note: There’s a chance you had to buy it for a nominal fee but it was like 60 years ago, can’t recall.

Photos are stored in three places. This is an example of having a backup for the backup.

This too makes me smile.

One of those storage places sends a daily “on this day” photo memory sample. Many of the past week or so photos are from this random feed. Today is an example.

More smiling.

Thank you Disneyland.

You provided some wonderful (Magical) insight on the Covid journey that is coming to a new, less stressful milestone – no masks on airplanes.

It could happen

This could be the local Bass Pro Shops or outside someone’s cabin.

It could happen. You could be thinking, like i have been, that the five themes have been shot to heck with all this text-less, photos-only, videos-only experimental posts.

Agreed.

Thanks for coming along for the ride.

Doing things that might not work requires taking risks.

Crave failure.

Recognize everyday Magic?

Not when we are in a hurry.

But when we are not in a hurry, Magic.

Everyday.

God, i love to write

hotel room desk
August 2009. Lahti, Finland hotel room. At this point i’ve been writing five daily, differently-themed blogs for roughly 120 consecutive days. The goal was 100 consecutive days. In Finland, there’s no need to keep writing five blogs a day, but i wondered if it was possible to double the original goal and make it 200 consecutive days. Now we are well over 4,000 consecutive days. Action trumps intentions…

God, i love to write.

End of (this) story.
