Glacier National Park – Page 3 – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

High mountain chalet

hotel reservation screen — Looks good on paper.

No one can plan on winning the lottery.

Trying to get a chalet reservation in Glacier is literally a futile effort.

But we try anyway.

Why?

Because in the past nine years, we have occasionally gotten lucky.

Last day, mind

Bluey toy figurine in a storage closet — Bluey marks 2024. What he doesn’t mark is the month. It’s November.

Disney Institute keynote speaker by mountain lake — Being the only one around feels unique. Here at Apgar Village, i feel safe being alone, even privileged. In the wild, it’s always a privileged feeling. However, it easily gets spooky.

Jimmy Buffett is our house music.

When i walk downstairs each morning (like i did an hour ago) i say, “Siri, shuffle my Jimmy Buffett.”

Buffett plays all day in our kitchen and family room.

There are 40 Buffett albums in my downloaded Apple Music library.

Jimmy has many live albums but i have only three, along with his 37 studio albums.

Quincy Jones didn’t work with Jimmy to my knowledge.

Quincy is a Music and Entertainment industry GIANT.

i fell in love with Motown before i was 10.

Quincy died yesterday (Nov 4, 2024).

Today’s posts are eclectic, possibly obscure posts.

Inspired by his journey and a clip aired yesterday where he spoke briefly about…hills and valleys.

Brand new day, mind

Mountain Ash red berries — Mountain Ash (tree) loaded with berries.

Each new day is a new opportunity. An opportunity that has never been experienced.

i average 2,000 photos (including video) per month.

Looking at recent photos, joy and wonder fill my space each new day.

Reflecting on the return to Glacier for medical reasons.

i began preparing for the unexpected trip by preloading the WordPress admin dashboard with some non-writing essentials. Things like blog titles, daisy-chain URL-links, tags, categories, and publishing schedules.

Only then did i discover i’d be visiting Glacier for the 400th time.

Always looking

‘Gift’ from Apple ordered while in Glacier a month ago. iPhone 16 Pro Max has arrived. i will see it soon.

Always keeping an open mind is a helpful habit.

Countless times it has enhanced minutes, hours, days, months, and even years of my life.
