Cafe with a view.
Lookout Cafe
Lookout Cafe is an ‘open-air’ restaurant.

Acclimation is a weird concept. We live on such a microscopic place in such an infinitely vast space.

As i slowly regain physical vibrancy, this body bar rises.

Two retina reattachment eye surgeries left me with four months of sloth-like living.

No exercise.

None.

Climbing out of a deep (four-month) hole.

Tah-dah!

Little closer.

Humbled, and grateful for, Earth’s sunrise consistency.

93-million miles away. Not bad.

15-second video: More location context. Unique and ‘invisible’ sunlight angel on the trees. For a brief moment, the trees understory is sunlit.

i love to sweat. i love earning it. But sweating simply because it’s hot is a turnoff.

dad

Note: Sweating in the shade, doing nothing, is ok by me. But i can’t be wearing a shirt. In fact, sweating in the right conditions is a blessing and a gift. Enjoyable even.

This hike confirmed what i already knew.

We picked a second stop after Eumundi, Noosa, before returning to our apartment.

Forests have a special place in my heart. But Glacier has superseded my desire to walk through them.

This was a lovely five-hour onsite endeavor.

No one can do your reps for you.

For sure.

You’re welcome.

Halfway. Time to walk back. The Zoo awaits.

i don’t do anything for free.

dad

Sage wisdom says there’s an exception to every rule.

My 10 TEDx practice talks were free.

Why?

TEDx’s “Why going the extra mile is a flawed concept, and what to do instead” was an anomaly.

Never gave that speech before.

Will never give it again.
