Bug on a napkin in a man’s hand
In our garage before heading out for yesterday’s pre-roadtrip 5-miler, i spot a tired fly. Wondered if it would hop aboard a napkin…
5-second video: Context is everything. You know how skittish flies are. This is one exceptionally exhausted fly, and, hopefully, an exceptionally grateful fly.

The karma that started yesterday morning before ever heading out for a walk….

Could try to write about it yet it seems the photos and video say it all.

Humbled.

By yesterday morning.

By yesterday in Tampa.

By the blessing to write five-a-day for 16 consecutive years. Never missing a single day. Not one.

Note to self: Tell me that isn’t an insane example of (fill in the blank) ___________.

We’ve already visited four Central Florida Honda dealerships over the weekend.

Our first stop today, Monday, is Tampa.

If it goes well, we are done. If it doesn’t we head north to Port Richey.

If all goes well, at either location, we drive two cars to the Comfort Inn for the night.

If it doesn’t go well, we still spend tonight (with one car) at the Comfort Inn just a few miles from the Gulf of Mexico.

Note: Walked five miles and did a nice no-gym gym workout early today.

Long lists make you hurry

Recognition stereotypically doesn’t make our daily to-do lists. So nationwide we try to add it for one week out of 52.

Long lists make you hurry to get it all done.

We hurry because we want to reach our destination.

What’s the destination?

The bottom of our to-do list.

All caught up, as the glorious saying goes.

Physically curious

white board with notes
Last year. A low of 50 in early September at 6,600’ is good. Bottom note: Swiftly fly the days.

How can i avoid injuries as i age?

How can i diversify my movement and food efforts to avoid overuse?

How can i stay motivated to stay physically vibrant?

What will it take?

Am i prepared to invest in whatever it takes?

How do i involve family in my journey?

How do i involve myself in my family’s journey?

Acorns fall near the tree

Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel
From 2010? Definitely still at Disney Institute. Climbed the 8-foot fence to get in. All the gates were locked. There’s a special, lunatic “one-lap fraternity”. i am a lifelong member.

Spring Grove Area High School.

1977 graduating class.

Produced a few remarkable things for a Paper Mill town without a stoplight nor a grocery store.

One of the least important was a nobody who ran the 440 (400 meters in today’s speak).

Turns out that kid set a High School 440 record that stood for 45 years.
