Remember when you are afraid, i know this feeling well. Yet i went from only driving Sun Road to climbing Bishops Cap.

Son, you are the only reason i started hiking in Glacier. i never even did Hidden Lake Trail.

Why?

Because driving and pulling over at the overlooks was amazing enough for me.

Then, the only way i/we could get you to agree to a third visit was to park the car and hit the trail. Had no idea what that meant.

Remember, mom and i only visited once a decade.

Post Op Day 21, mind

12-second video: Today. October 6, 2023…8:00 AM.
High Mountain Lake
Jody Maberry texted this photo yesterday. That’s me lower right. Longest hike in 50 years of visits…15 miles. Wondering if future visits will be one-eye or two-eye sighted. Btw, that’s the Continental Divide.

You will excel at world-class customer service when you excel at being a world-class customer.

In sharing the Disney Compass this morning to the office manager, it dawned on me…

When you not only know your customer but understand them, you tee up “surprise and delight”.

Surprise and delight is the bull’s-eye for creating “wow“!

Anyone can create it for anyone.

Why the customer service world hasn’t embedded this as a non-negotiable is beyond my comprehension.

Post Op Day 20, mind

Apple Watch message from Apple
Never owned a new car. Not to save money although you do. And yet i’m always wanting THE most excellent work tool. Not trying to spend frivolously although it may seem so. Ps. The green medical bracelet comes off in mid-November.

Know what indulgence you can justify.

dad

For the first time since 2009 i seriously considered passing on the newest iPhone.

After thoughtful consideration, it got ordered.
