On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

How many people live intentionally, which includes living with a deadline?
Happy 57th birthday dude. Ok, so it’s still 100 days away as i write this this morning. But when it posts, it’ll be the 57th anniversary of my birth.
Yes, i get that my approach is crazy.
i think we should all consider that the alternative – living like we have forever – is also crazy.
To each his or her own.
i committed to a ten-year plan seven years ago.
Nothing is going to have me back down from it now.
Give yourself the gift of courage to do the impossible.

Some key members were unable to attend. Others haven’t been together in years.
Best Christmas ever?
When you’ve had 50+ Christmases, what criteria is fair to use in describing yesterday’s Christmas as the best one ever? And what about selective memory?
What about first Christmas:
As a married couple?
As a homeowner?
As a parent?
As a retiree?
What about the first one you can remember where you had most of your Family together?

The date, time, and place stamped on the digital lobby sign.
The small yellow image, a walker, caught my eye.
Closer inspection revealed a military tribute monument. Two days prior was Remembrance Day (Veteran’s Day in America).
An airport tradition for a decade or more.
Freedom Tower from JFK tarmac yesterday.
A debt of gratitude:
To my wife, for covering the home front, solo, for three days.
To our son, for, well, just being a son, and a studious ninth-grader.
To Lee Cockerell, for his referral; otherwise there would not have been a Montreal trip.
To Manon Richard for being a superb event planner. Superb.
To Michel for guiding me the entire day and having me want for nothing. Remarkable.
To Westin and Delta for doing what they do so well.
To our Military, for providing safe passage in North America.
To God, for the blessing of having a purposeful way to contribute to society.
Editor’s note: The above list was started yesterday during a two-hour layover at JFK airport. Little did i know as i wrote about “safe passage in North America” that hours later tragedy would hit Paris.
