Glass half-empty or half-full

Smokey Glacier National Park 2017
Have never seen GNP like this before. What a different perspective.

Nearing Logan Pass. Like 400 meters from the summit. First significant wildlife sighting.

 

As we climbed Going-To-The-Sun Road, we were rewarded in ways that impressed even me.

What’s my sleep number?

Delta seat chart
The good news? i’m still in 21C, but row 20 is directly in from of me. Why a big deal? i needed the under-seat storage for my backpack.

 

What’s my sleep number?

It’s 14 out of 15.

The number of nights getting eight hours of sleep.

Ironically, 16 nights ago i got only five. And, the guy sitting next to me on the plane works for Sleep Number.

What’s my seat number?

It’s 21C.

Paid extra to get closer to the front to ensure making the next connection.

i was intentional in making sure i had a seat directly in front so i had a place to stow my backpack. When you sit in an open area, you are forced to rely on overhead storage.

When you don’t fly frequently, you board much later and often overhead storage is full.

The seat map from yesterday (above) is wrong.

i was nervous, even though i worked hard beforehand to not be.

Play the hand you’re dealt.

From shy outlier to quiet, unintentional leader?

Teamwork
After the fact, i noticed he’s near the middle (red shirt, glasses) when he had always been an outsider.

 

From shy outlier to quiet, unintentional leader?

In the photo above, and after the fact, i noticed he’s near the middle (red shirt, glasses) when he had always been an outsider.

This was the day before he smashed his 5k personal record.

Organized just enough to do a few remarkable things

Central Florida thunderstorm
Last night’s cross country practice was 30-minutes from school.

 

Organized just enough to do a few remarkable things. All Summer long, i focused on taking it one day at a time, preparing a 15-year old to be much better prepared than last year to start his second year at his new school.

Things like last night’s Cross Country practice at Red Dirt Road are success indicators.

Rio Olympics ended last night

Last night.

 

Rio Olympics ended last night. Hopefully we can get back to regular sleep habits.

Team USA was phenomenal. So many great stories. And a few not so great.

Michael Phelps in the pool.

Usain Bolt on the track.

Epic.
