Love note for a travelin’ man

love notes
seemingly insignificant note

On the way to Orlando airport yesterday, I took 20 minutes at Gold’s Gym to squeeze in a much needed strength workout. Returning to the car to continue on, I noticed the above note on the windshield. While driving to the dentist, unbeknownst to me, my wife and son snuck the note while I was inside. Is this what they mean by “life is good”?

One key to getting what you want at a rock concert

There’s a certain attitude rock stars must bring to their craft, their artistry. Midlife celebration and rock concerts are quite similar, but only if a person can pause quietly enough to peer at it from a different angle.

In 1971 Rod Stewart, a rock star, released the album “Every Picture tells A Story“. The same is true in these three photos:

Two things that make a rock concert great:

  1. Getting access to the stage
  2. Knowing the playlist

PS. Jeremy Camp’s performance was very emotional, and may influence my direction. I often wonder if others are clear on their direction.

If Midlife Responsibility Matters, Does Random and Ridiculous?

Random, ridiculous and beeresponsible?

The thing that excites jeff noel most about Mid Life Celebration’s next month is that there are unlimited possibilities, because so much has been done to lay the foundation for prolific blogging. Like a physical building, the foundation has been laid, the walls are up, but the outside exterior walls can be made with any texture and painted (if necessary) with any color.

PS. If you’re new to Midlife Celebration, today’s post may not initially make sense. Trust that I’m always going somewhere with every message. Always. And does that website really translate into: “be eresponsible”?

We Started With Disney The Same Day Michael Eisner Became Disney’s CEO

jeff noel started the same time (late September 1984) as Michael Eisner, Disney’s new CEO. A week later, Michael Eisner gave a welcome speech to Walt Disney World cast members before the Magic Kingdom opened to Guests, describing his vision for Disney’s future. I took this photo. Left to right: Mickey Mouse, Michael, Jane Eisner, Luanne Wells, Frank Wells. This is one of the worst pics jeff noel has ever taken.

A few years into my Disney career, I dreamt of one day being Disney’s CEO. What a Goofy thought.

To this very day, I remain absolutely, positively Goofy about Cheryl (above).

What I have learned from life is that you couldn’t pay me enough money to be a Fortune 500 CEO. Life has a funny way of grounding our blind ambitions. Thank goodness, eh?
