Palm tree mindset

2-second video: Here comes Karl and Jared.

Palm trees and sunshine.
dad

In 1984 we were living on the Idaho-Washington State border. And we literally flipped a coin. Heads we live in the mountains and visit the warm climate. Tails we live in the warm climate and visit the mountains.

Palm trees and sunshine won out.

True story.

Oh say, can you see?

We see what we want to see. Each of us.

Donald Trump’s 34 convictions yesterday will be seen in many different ways by many different people. There is no one way to see it.

Context: We fall into a weird trap when we judge others for not thinking, or seeing things, like us. Me posting the photo and video yesterday is not a political statement, even if that’s what some see.

You know i post about “what happened yesterday, what i get to do today, and what i hope for tomorrow.”

Our friend Jeremy

Two college graduates posing for a picture — Jeremy, on the left, sang our National Anthem at the beginning of the commencement ceremony.

A couple close friends are all that’s needed to feel humanity’s goodness.

Son, you’ve been friends with Jeremy and Eric since you all lived on the same floor four years ago.

Like Renato, Skylar, and Drew from freshman year in high school, your college buddies can potentially be lifelong friends.

Coworkers are a different genre of friends. Not nearly the same because of work cultures and “adult” expectations during work hours.

The ones that you shared life’s formative years are the ones that have the potential to feel like family throughout the course of life.

Thinking all over the map

Buffalo and muppets meme — This just appeared in my feed. An interesting mashup. Perfect timing because it’s been an interesting week.

11-second video: New neighbor arrived today. Welcome.

Happy present moment.
dad

Feeling unusually unusual.

Not sure why.

Perhaps it’s the time of year.

Perhaps it’s the increased travel.

Perhaps it’s the multiple challenges hitting close together.

Perhaps it’s some semblance of an exercise habit that was off limits for eight months.

Ground control to Major Tom

Life is an adventure without a map. Enjoy navigating as much of it as you can.
dad

This post’s title, “Ground Control to Major Tom“, feels appropriate today.
