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.

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.

First birthday as a retiree. It was better than expected.
Why?
Because i didn’t expect anything.
It’s a funny paradox for how joy finds those who aren’t looking, simply because they are already joy-filled.

Yesterday (Sunday) morning was quiet and peaceful until we heard the Mockingbird’s screeching. A rare sighting of a Swallow-Tailed Kite as it attempted to rob the Mockingbird’s nest of it’s contents.
The iPhone captured the photo as they flew overhead…almost looks like the Mockingbird is riding on it’s wing.
Nature is lovely and brutal in the same breath.
Dear Son, reflecting on a Kentucky Derby party conversation only 36 hours old. With Bob, a Vietnam veteran. He’s on disability from Agent Orange. Just like our neighbor across the street.
Anyway, it started as an exceptionally casual, “How have you been? Please tell me your name again.”
It was a deep, dark, and sobering conversation in which i was mostly a listener.
It was a great reminder for what can happen to children who grow up to be adults. Hell can overrun a person’s life and rob them of hope.
When robbed of hope, drugs, alcohol, sex, crime, and other full-time evils overtake the person’s soul. Big time.
Hell is real.
The good news?
So is Heaven.
Expose children to both. Prepare them well. Really, really well.
Happy 15th birthday Chapin (been thinking about this for at least 100 days).

December is a transition in life. Which leads us to…
Two of the most ordinary days on the calendar are two of the most extraordinary…
What do October 1 and December 5 have in common?
Two of Walt Disney’s birthdays.
Walt Disney World – October 1, 1971.
Walt Disney – December 5, 1901.
And in 10 days, October 1, a life changing announcement from Mid Life Celebration.
