The subtle differences, mind

Raft on Hidden Lake
i can work from here if i want. (but i don’t work anymore) Photo: Glacier National Park. A 2026 goal is to replicate this photo, with me (and maybe Cheryl) on the raft.

The subtle difference in mindset?

Anything’s possible -vs- it’s probably impossible.

The wolf stays hungry. The dog is well fed.

Freedom comes with a price.

Each has to decide what they can afford.

Etc.

And on and on.

Art’s paradox

This song (see artist and title at top of photo), while sitting on our patio, inspired this post and the video below…
49-second video: Thank you Joni, for the impromptu inspiration.

The paradox of Art is that art is a circus.

It’s a freak show.

You go to the freak show to see the thing no one’s seen before.

Freakish attracts human attention.

Humans are curious.

Freakish is exciting.

Art?

Totally.

Who knew?

.think .differently

Without context this is stupid. With context, it’s .brilliant

.think .differently

That simple two-word image says everything.

It preaches what it practices.

Who puts a period before a word?

Why would a person do this?

It’s .stupid

When you change what you see, what you see changes.

The goal of being different comes with the risk of being misunderstood.

Popular metrics don’t work for the majority

Baltimore Hotel on raining morning
Yesterday near sunrise.
College President
College President yesterday welcoming 120 prospective students (and 12 incoming freshman) and roughly 150 parents.

Reminded our Son yesterday that his early decision and acceptance (and incredible merit-based scholarship) in December puts him in a group of less than 10-percent of decisive and less-stressed students (and parents).

We (society) often use popular metrics.

Some High School students never make it in the top 10% of any “normal” and popular metric. This has the potential cumulative effect of inhibiting or eroding self-confidence.

The metric here (this post) is not one that gets talked about, unless you live with me.

Instilling self-confidence should be a top parental priority.
