Get rollin’

Nickelback album on Apple Music screenshot — We’re walking the mall after lunch, and we stopped into Hot Topic, and this song was playing.

Days turn out best for those who make the best of how days turn out.

We are heading South and will collide into a late-season Gulf of Mexico weather event that’s creeping up the East Coast.

Time will tell how driving conditions unfold.

We could have left yesterday and avoided the challenge.

But departing yesterday at 6:30 AM felt rushed.

So we stayed an extra day and enjoyed the laid-back pace.

Hitting save on this post right now to finish today’s five blogs.

T-minus 50 minutes to “wheels-up”.

C-ya!

Holiday HQ

Unique. Fun. Sensory overload.

friends at a restaurant — Angelina snapped this group photo.

Six people posing next to building wall art — Walking back to Campus. The ‘infamous’ Towson sign. Rowdy the Gopher, the Goucher mascot, is in blue and gold.

Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams.

Simple, key, repeatable messages.

It’s how Disney taught me (and every Cast Member that ever was, is now, or ever will be) the most important, foundational basics.

Never get bored with the basics.

Do the basics brilliantly.

You’re welcome.

Who doesn’t love music?

Four college students — In a couple days, they all go their separate ways.

The details i over-focus on start with over-focusing on prioritized priorities.

You are all set

Apple Store delivery email — Lost my AirPods yesterday. Back up pair are in Montana. The only option yesterday was to order a new pair before this morning’s airplane ride.

Hone your life’s structure and processes for personal vibrancy.
dad

The quote above could have a second sentence…

“ You are the only one who can ensure this.”

Fun fact: Cheryl found the ‘lost’ AirPods on our closet floor, behind the door.

They had been in my jeans pocket and after placing jeans over a hanger, they fell out of the pocket. i had checked the pockets (and a dozen other probable places) but not the floor.

Excellence is popular

Cinderella castle, Christmas tree, American flag — There’s only One Disney, One United States, and One Santa.

Excellence is not as popular as good. But the desire for excellence far exceeds the desire for good.
dad

The people who want to be excellent are far more motivated than the people wishing to conform to status quo.

Motivation is good, very good, or excellent.

For folks desiring to be excellent, good and very good aren’t good enough.
