Showtime, body

Showtime.

Huh?

Showtime. It’s showtime.

Been saying it since 1999 shortly after starting a quarter-century professional speaking career at Disney Institute.

And as i say it again today in this post, it means the same thing; however, 27 years later, the context is different.

The physical context now is this…

It’s time for the retirement show. The final season of life.

Cardio, strength, nutrition, rest, flexibility, core, motivation.

Motivation as paramount is self-evident.

The other six are now more important than ever.

Why?

Because original factory equipment has a lot of miles on it.

Ps. The ‘show’ must go on.

Now that you’ve officially retired, body

The AV check, March 8, 2026. A Sunday.

Now, i’m officially retired not only from Disney in 2014, but also from my own personal business for the past 12 years.

Cheryl and i spent today (a Sunday) finalizing travel plans.

A rest day from exercising today, we poured our creative mental, spiritual, and organizational energy into committing to Europe and the Northeast United States.

Ps. This Summer’s Glacier trip has been locked and loaded for a year. “Only” a month in 2026.

A new day is dawning, body

A new day dawns, everyday.

Without fail.

We’ll spend the day moving.

What a gift.

Everyday.

Move like you mean it.

Short jaunt to the hospital

Let’s just call it nine miles.

December 15, 2025.

RIP Walt Disney (Dec 15, 1966: 65 years old).

i’m older than Walt was when he died.

Walked four miles roundtrip to my annual eye exam this morning.

Then walked five more, also roundtrip to the eye doctor’s office to drop off a pair of frames (for new lenses).

Not only is the mileage remarkable, so is the discretionary time to do it.

Rest from what?

Rest from what?

Saturday, today, is a rest day.

Rest from what?

From physical exertion.

Anything else?

Yes, and not just on the weekends.

Going full-time, and permanent, in about a year. Resting from work.
