Blood pressure results
New BP device. Did test three times for consistency. Wanted to see if the Pennsylvania device mirrored the results i get in Florida. It does.

What memories do i think will happen from this three-day 50th High School reunion?

i will remember that it was Florida-hot!

Older Pennsylvania homes often do not have Central AC. Cousin Michael’s house does not. We did have a bedroom window unit and it was a godsend.

Note: The heat wave was extraordinarily not ordinary.

What should i expect at Cheryl’s 50th High School reunion?

For starters my only expectation is to see Cheryl have the time of her life, at this stage in her life…

Fun. Emotion. Joy. Fellowship…

“Louis E. Dieruff (1889-1964) devoted 47 years to Allentown education, starting in 1916. He was a principal for 21 years and later a district administrator. Louis E. Dieruff High School, initially planned as a junior high in 1957, opened in 1959. A planetarium (1965) and classrooms/library (1970) were added. The mascot, “Kiska” the Husky, honors WWII Allentown servicemen captured on Kiska Island. “Husky Pride,” a value system promoted by former Principal Meilinger, unites the school community. School colors are blue and gray.”

He Said This System Works For Him
Disney Institute business trip to Maine 2010+-. The Shop owner said this system works for him.

How did Monday get a bad reputation? And does it deserve the rep?

If you believe Mondays are a drag, good for you. Impressed by your conviction.

If you believe Mondays are celebratory, good for you. Impressed by your conviction.

To each their own.

Live and let live.

Happy Monday.

Happy present moment.

Orland Based Disney Keynote Speakers
Sample artwork for my first book’s front cover.

Can you be on Island-Time anywhere, and anytime?

While i say a resounding, Yes!

Truth is it depends on who you are, and where you are in life.

Reminder: No male on my Dad’s side made it past 60 years old.

i’m much closer to 70 than 60.

This, to me, is an inspiring miracle.

Thank you cosmos, universe, energy, light, and 4.5 billion years of getting me to here, today, now. So blessed.

Saying that to say this…

i’m grounded in how blessed i am to live and write the way i live and write.

Bonus: Also grounded in why i live and write the way i live and write.

Officially graduated, 2019. Thanks for being here “Uncle Mike”. And thanks for letting us stay with you every time we’re in Allentown. Pennsylvania visits are rare these days.

Will today be remarkable and fun?

Should be.

How can it not be?

We have a late afternoon ‘call-time’ to be at Allentown’s PPL Center.

PPL stands for Pennsylvania Power and Light.

Since 2014, it’s an 8,500-seat event center.

Tonight Cheryl’s class of 1976 will pay tribute to their High School’s graduating class of 2026.

Note: We are not expected to stay for the entire Graduation ceremony.
