No photo today, mind

Be flexible. Take risks. Do the best you can in the moment.

Maybe, maybe not

Mountainside in snow — Late September, couple years ago. Flew out to get this exact photo. Inspired by a Park Facebook post. True story. Assuming you can see the cars and the tunnel.

Dream like you are four years old.
dad

One week away from a two-month follow up exam. From the second surgery. The first surgery was 80+ days ago.

The second surgery’s gas bubble’s anticipated clearance nears.

Started dreaming about a mid-to-late November return to Montana.

Then a week ago started thinking it might be too much effort for an unknown, and below-average, payoff.

But today…

Yes, today…

Back to thinking…

Why not?

Yet still grounded in the anticipated below-average ROI.

Note: It is not an inexpensive time and money venture for a few day’s adventure.

Do the impossible or take the money?

May you someday get to make decisions based on passion and joy, not money and security.
dad

On an executive coaching call yesterday, a major decision came down to one of two choices. And using an analogy from the 1984 Olympic Ice Hockey ‘documentary movie’, Miracle, do you pursue defeating the Russians (for the first time anyone has in 20 years) or do you take the contract to be the head coach for an NHL team?

Waiting has a place

halloween decoration at home — Last night, waiting for trick-or-treaters.

Paradox is a great accountability tool.
dad

Waiting has a place.

For a sunset or sunrise.

For a harvest.

For a shade tree from an acorn.

Then there’s the paradox.

You know what i’m talking about.

The waiting instigated by doubt, fear, inexperience, etc.

All the reasons waiting and doing nothing are the twin siblings for self-defeat.

Nine year Disney retirement anniversary

17-second video: Jody Maberry and i recorded an episode

i retired from Disney on Halloween so i could tell people, “After 30 years it was really scary to leave”.
dad

Note: There are nearly two additional years of service that are lost in the career storyline. Doesn’t matter. i used to think it did.

Now, i’m just so grateful to have ever been granted the opportunity to begin serving there in January 1982.
