Hard to imagine

Track finish line
First ever NCAA top-4 sweep. Arkansas sweeps the top four women’s 400m finishers. Their top finisher set the NCAA record in this final last week.

Life is full of excuses and excuses lead to regret. Regret leads to second chances and second chances lead to opportunity.

Hard to imagine two things today:

  1. That a single team could sweep the top four places in a National Championship final.
  2. Excuses are the seeds for second chances.

Be greedy

Sunrise through the window
Being outside for a sunrise is a bonus. Seeing the sunrise under any conditions is also a bonus.

Stop here for all your chemistry needs.

A vibrant life is brilliant chemistry.

When you change what you see, what you see changes.

The long way is the shortcut.

What does your CEO have to say about it?

30 Seconds from Mars?

Directly across the street from our apartment. The Pacific Ocean.

Rest is a superpower.

30 Seconds from Mars?

No.

30 Seconds from the Pacific Ocean.

Rest is a superpower. Didn’t get much of it in the past 24 hours. Definitely taking a nap soon. There’s a 50-50 chance i won’t awake until tomorrow.

Friendly is as friendly does. Active is as active does.

Once again, we are chasing the sun.

The sun out raced us last time. Ditto this time too.

Last time i slept eight hours straight.

This time the sky “bed” is challenging.

The up side is we have two flights, not three.

Looking for every positive perception to a different yet similar reality.

Same day, different hemisphere, body

Sydney Australia cityscapes
Able to snap only two photos from middle seat over the wing. This one. And the next one…
Sydney Opera House
Unmistakable. One lucky photo.

Always remember your roots. Always remember your humble beginnings.

Having time and money to travel has always been possible for me.

Take 1982, $75 cash, a touring bicycle, no tent, a small backpack cookstove, peddling from Philadelphia to Orlando. Also a three week trip.

Take 1980, Greyhound bus from York, PA to Moscow, ID. Carried my backpack and my Dad’s Army duffle bag. A one week bus ride. So many small town stops. That’s why it took so long.
