My first college Spring Break was in 1979.
Four of us drove a small car from Philadelphia to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I-95 the whole way.
We stayed in a campground several miles from the beach. We pitched a large, stand-up-inside canvas tent. It smelled ridiculously musty.
We must have each packed a sleeping bag. No air mattresses, no luxuries of any sort.
Not even sure we had a cooler to keep our beer cold. And we probably didn’t need one. Beer never lasted long after purchased.
Bottomline, we enjoyed palm trees, sunshine, and beer.
The 24-hour drive back to college stunk.

Another day in paradise physically?
Yes.
Alive.
Breath in my lungs.
Sight in my eyes.
Another day in charge of the Temple housing everything keeping me alive.
And now that my work contribution is transforming in a way that only retirement can offer, the thoughts about how i maintain and improve physical vibrancy…
Differently exciting.
Paradise.

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, 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.
