July 23 and 24, reverse wildcard, mind

man Wearing two backpacks — A tradition that has seen it’s days…wearing two backpacks on back and front…’handsfree’ travel’.

Need to get two days of blogging in one day’s worth of writing

Why?

Remember the Wildcard Day about three weeks ago.

On that day, needed to write two days worth of blog posts on the same calendar day.

Why?

Some months have 30 days, or 31 days. And since i’m writing 60 days (not 61, nor 59, but exactly 60) in advance, the math sometimes makes me adjust so the day i write the post is the same number it publishes on two months in the future. Quirky, but i like it this way.

Off the map, mind

jeff noel in Glacier — Glacier National Park (GNP). Letting go: Eliminating a fear of heights was never a goal, but a remarkable transformation happened serendipitously.

What does ‘off the map’ mean?

It means you are stepping back to a time when our ancestors walked past the village line and ventured out into the unknown.

Gone country, mind

Walt Disney Blue name tag — Upper left background, two (wild) Mountain Goats. Here’s a followup photo to compliment yesterday’s posts. A “Jeff” name tag with a 30-year pin.

What does it mean when someone says, I’ve gone country?

Something like this Dan and Shay song.

Sometimes, mind

Jeff Noel If Disney Ran Your Life Podcast — Me in 2014 just before retiring after 30 years at Disney. Nearing my final day i drove to Magic Kingdom Cast parking and rode the Cast Member bus to the ‘Tunnels’. Walked the Tunnel and popped up at Cinderella Castle. Walked down a deserted Main Street. Then walked over to Disney’s Contemporary Resort where i taught my final Disney Institute custom program.

Sometimes?

Yes, sometimes.

Why?

Because sometimes you don’t ‘always’ or ‘never’.
