Still crazy?

Teddy Bear on TEDx stage
How many Teddy Bears have you seen on TED?

Still crazy?

Yes, still crazy after all these years.

While it’s a classic song, today’s energy has nothing to do with the lyrics and everything to do with the title.

It’s a crazy proposition to be positive about everything.

In jeff-land, it’s not crazy, it’s essential for mental vibrancy.

What’s crazy in jeff-land is not being positive all the time.

One week from today

HOA meeting posted at subdivision entrance
Bi-annual meetings need to be advertised 10 days in advance. This sign’s posting exceeded the minimum notice by four days. The meetings are the same Sundays every year. Technically unofficially, there should be no need to announce the meetings.

One week from today is the first of two annual 2022 Homeowner’s Association meetings. The February meeting includes election of Four Board of Directors Officers:

  1. President
  2. Vice President
  3. Treasurer
  4. Secretary

What will this meeting hold for us residents?

A predicable dysfunctional show? Adults behaving with emotionally irrational behaviors, like Middle School students?

Probably.

Cryptic DNA

Led Zeppelin vinyl album
Side one. All-time favorite album, any genre.

Cryptic DNA built Led Zeppelin.

Perhaps that’s what created the attraction to Led Zeppelin.

Or, the fact it was the first album ever owned.

Or maybe, was Cryptic attracted to me?

Doesn’t matter, because…i immediately became attracted to cryptic.

When the needle dropped on the album pictured above and Black Dog began to play….

As if that wasn’t enough, after a few seconds silence, then Rock and Roll starts…

Another 14-year old mind forever changed by the right music at the right time.

Happy present moment.

Indeed.

Persistence can’t be lonely

Miami Heat Arena
We (Disney Institute) worked consistently with the NFL, NBA, and World Cup Soccer when i was there. Here we are on assignment in Miami.

Persistence can’t be lonely.

What?

Give your persistence a friend to walk with.

Persistence without insight will lead to the same result.

Mando (from The Mandalorian)

Lifetime persistence without insight is futile.
