Boat trip, day 3, body

map
You can see our location above the first ‘a’ in Sarasota. Nearly 1:00pm, we are heading back to Marina to get dropped off so we can make a 1:30pm departure back home to Walt Disney World. Happy Sunday.

Should we get sad at the reality of having to leave the water location?

No sadness.

Only gratitude.

Boat trip, day 2, body

school track and field results
Random day…then a text from a High School classmate. Wow! What took so long. Records are made and meant to be broken.

What took so long?

That was the first question.

The first response was OMGosh, a Spring Grove Area High School athlete, Ella Bahn, just finished her High School Track & Field career with seven State Titles. That’s incredible. Unprecedented for Spring Grove Track and Field.

Congrats to Andrew Gerber and his new 48.78 Spring Grove High School 400m record. Also incredible is the record he broke stood for nearly half-a-century.

Why does visiting a water feature stimulate our mind, body and spirit?

Magic?

Safe Harbor marina.

Friends. Neighbors from adjacent communities.

Boat owners.

Fun people.

May i still possess an adventurer’s spirit

Disney Employee culture speakers
Stumbled upon this 1982 gem.

 

Prepping for a keynote speech next week and searching 1982 photos from my first days at Walt Disney World and stumbled upon this one from a cross-country bicycle trek.

Departed Philadelphia for places South and West.

i knew the $75 cash i had wouldn’t last and was excited for the adventure in how i’d learn to manage.

Headed South because it was early October and warmer weather seemed smart.

West because my best friend was living in Washington State.

Cash because i owned no credit card, nor did i have a bank account with money in it.

It’s always easy

There was time yesterday morning for a 30 minute run before dropping our son off at middle school on the way to the airport.

It would have been easy to skip the run because we left the house at 8:00am.

It’s always easy to skip a run when our day starts early. Always.
