Walt was crazy to think his alligator, snake, and mosquito-infested Central Florida swampland could be transformed into the Vacation Capital of the World.
Yet here we are.

Worth the risk to publish 10 consecutive days of photo-free posts?
Yes.
Why?
Because of the experiments from several months ago.
Remember?
Posts with text only.
Posts with photos only.
Posts with videos only.
The original experiments where small risks at the time.
There was setup and “warning” about the coming changes.
Explained the “why”.
What seemed like a (small) risk at the time was simply a slow and steady way to improve.
Improve what?
Improve the ability to manage life and a daily, two-hour (average) writing commitment. And, the advent of some major life changes on the horizon.

Thirteen years ago on March 31, 2009 some crazy “promise” began.
The promise to begin writing in the morning.
The promise to write five differently-themed blog posts, on five different websites.
The promise to write those five differently-themed posts every single day for 100 consecutive days.
Note: The previous record for 5-a-day was two days in a row. Pathetic.

T-minus two days.
Fourteen years ago it became an idea.
Thirteen years ago the writing began.
It started with the Great Recession in 2008-09.
It rekindled a distant memory — a promise — to write a book for my children. Thirty years had passed since the College Junior (me) had an inspiring idea.
The Great Recession/Disney-layoff-wake-up-call completely caught everyone off-guard.
The Plan B notion surfaced quickly.
But.
But was at a loss on how and where to begin. And, was it even necessary? In hindsight, it was not necessary. At least not until Covid-19, 11 years later.
Covid-19 decimated Walt Disney Parks and Resorts — and Disney Institute.
“You should have a Plan B in case, God forbid, this ever happens again.”
From that foggy, half-baked 2008 “Plan B” idea to write a book as a business card — for a backup plan, should another Great Recession-type event appear again before our planned 2024 Disney retirement, came the search for a place to practice writing.
