Skywatcher, body

Clear the sky, clear your calendar. One is in your control.

Sky watching

What a concept.

What a privilege.

College students do it better than most.

Why?

Because they haven’t been burdened by responsibility and accountability.

And i’m playing around with this notion that i’ve been responsible and accountable for six, almost seven decades.

Know what i think now?

What would a Spring-Breaker do?

Hold on, body

Disney park from ground level
Below is my 1:00pm text to the five others. They did the Villains Show. i opted out since Cheryl and i just did it less than a week ago. While they enjoyed the show, i found a seat on the ground to wait and people watch.

When you have house Guests, how is your daily routine impacted?

Walked 9 miles today, 120 pushups, 2 dozen pull-ups, and a variety of physical movements.

Before most of the house had eaten breakfast, i walked six miles – mostly walking with maybe a mile of fartlek running. The other three miles happened at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Lifetime Disney Passes, body

Photo 2013. A benefit to attending a Disney Institute business program is early access to Disney Theme Parks. A benefit to being a Disney Institute Cast Member is leading business programs all over our ‘living laboratory’, Walt Disney World.

Walking around Walt Disney World, to me, is similar to walking around one of our great National Parks. Spacious. Wildlife. Wildflowers.

The math is the math, body

bicycle plates
These dishes were the first ones we purchased as newlyweds, inspired by our bicycle honeymoon trip. By the way, they are neither dishwasher nor microwavable safe.

In yesterday’s math equation regarding possibly speaking on Vancouver Island in October, the usual decision making criteria:

Date, location, fee, client.

Date: October 14. October is still a strong hurricane month. Hurricane Milton on October 5-10, 2024. Strongest hurricane on record. Ever. We raced at the last minute from Banff to Orlando and i swore i would never get in that situation again. Ever. This is why we did not stay in Glacier last September nor plan to visit this September. Nope.

Location: My math conservatively shows, with no travel glitches, a 17-hour travel day. Even if split into two days, that’s two 8+ hour travel days just to get to the hotel. Nope.

Fee: Reasonable retail price. However, subtracting the 20% speakers bureau fee, the travel expenses, the Canadian withholding tax (new), and my IRS tax obligation…nope.

Client: This one is the only definite win. A definite yes. Big Speak’s Tracy and Amy are wonderful.

Got Disney humid morning walks?

discomfort
Walking this morning in the cold and dark was literally the last thing i wanted to do. But i did it anyway, with my wife.

Today’s photo is from a Winter month, year unknown.

Yesterday’s walk, May 14, was warmer than i predict May will be at 7:30am.

In the past week, thanks to the our Disney humidity and the week of rest in France, getting my sweat back on.

Sweat like you mean it.

Not there yet but see a hopeful resurrection.
