Physical workarounds

Australian retail signs
Walked six miles before lunch. Love the Australian continent image inside the crab.

Just start walking. Getting started is the critical act.

dad

There are a million reasons to not move.

There are a million for moving.

Stoke the benefits not the excuses.

Three USATF superstars. There are a ton of them. This week is gonna be lit.
USATF Olympic trials schedule 2024

USATF Olympic trials schedule 2024
Not sure if we’ll be able to view it ‘live’ while in Australia.

Dream big. Get there. Stay there.

dad

When i ask if you have Olympic Dreams, jeff, i’m asking in reference to your personal vibrancy: mind, body, spirit, work, and home.

That kinda life

two adults at dinner table
“Downtown” Mooloolaba. Dinner at Frankies.

The kind of life you live evolves as you age. And it improves if you over-focus on intentionality.

dad

That kinda life is my kinda living.

Lyrics to this Hardy song.

Not-a-Zoo

Kangaroo on college campus
Kinda like American deer, but less skittish.

Simba, remember who you are.

Rafiki

In modern ‘civilization’, are cities Zoos?

Are countryside homes more free, more wild?

A Zoo’s animal exhibit is generally a fraction of the animal’s natural habitat. Almost sounds like a city, to my ‘country boy’ ear.

Note: Rafiki is my favorite Disney Character.

Australia Day 9, body

Ocean sunrise
Awoke at 5:00 AM. An hour later walked three steps to our balcony window. Took this pic.
Ocean sunrise
Snapped this pic 10 minutes later. Still 30 minutes from sunrise.

Give your child roots and wings.

dad

Son, your roots run deep.

Your wings have been flight-tested.

You have everything you need for your post-college-life milestone.
