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.

Only so many, body

There are only so many things you can do especially well.

Only so many thoughts that summarize the whole physical volume.

For example this simple overview: We move, we fuel, we rest.

Bonus example: Never get bored with the basics.

Five big choices ‘justs’

Disney customer service keynote speaker
Stumbled on this Disney Keynote photo. Clearing (deleting) texts yesterday and stumbled on three photos i didn’t know i had. The conference photographer texted them soon after the event. This is the second one.

Five ‘big choices’:

  1. Just think
  2. Just move
  3. Just feel
  4. Just work
  5. Just dwell

Haves and wants, body

Three people making their beds in a mountain chalet
You rent the linens. But you make your own bed at Granite Park Chalet. August 2024 (two months ago already).

Physical vibrancy has three big buckets:

  1. Movement
  2. Rest
  3. Nutrition

We need those three.

Yes, and…

Personally, i want these seven:

  1. Endurance
  2. Strength
  3. Rest
  4. Nutrition
  5. Flexibility
  6. Core
  7. Motivation
