Hope we never get to use it

State Farm mobile app — Chose face to face versus mobile app.

Lots of errands yesterday, including filing a claim for the accident a few days ago. After the fact, i realized i could have avoided a face to face office visit by doing it on my iPhone.

State Farm permits one accident forgiveness when you are a safe driver for 10 years or more.

We are safe drivers.

We have safe driver designation on two of our cars, but we’ve only owned the third car (in the accident) for one year. So State Farm defaulted us to a Good Driver Discount, and it would take nine more years to earn Safe Driver discount. So, our rate for this car will go up about 10%, for three years.

Anyway, never knew State Farm had accident forgiveness. And never knew that your impeccable safe driving record doesn’t transfer to a new policy for a vehicle you will be driving.

Live and learn, and remain grateful that no one was hurt.

Hometown hospital is finally arriving

Florida Hospital Winter Garden — Last night’s VIP pre-opening ceremony.

The attendees included elected officials, Florida Hospital executives, Florida Hospital Winter Garden opening leadership team, Physicians, and me.

Stayed four hours instead of the scheduled two.

Talked.

Much longer than anticipated.

It felt like home, like Family.

Even though it was business.

The force is strong in darkness and in light

Sunbiz.org — Annual filing was completed yesterday.

Annual filing for a small entrepreneurial business is one of many details to stay on top of.

i did it while we were at the YuGiOh tournament.

Having a portable business is freedom.

Also yesterday, i recalled the tragic anniversary of a friend taking his life at work. Thank goodness, he didn’t physically harm any others.

Life is glorious and it is horrible sometimes.

It’s our responsibility to find meaning and purpose while living with both.

It was roughly a three second mistake

2016 Orlando Freeze warning — It got down to 33 degrees last night/this morning.

Photo of backup movie theater tickets — Booked 6pm showing of Star Wars at Disney Springs. Upper right shows which showtime.

calling AAA after accident — Accident happened at 5:43pm. First call, after Chris and i exchanged insurance information, lasted nearly nine minutes. Tow truck arrived after sunset.

We watched, in the correct order, the final three Star Wars episodes Thursday, Friday, and yesterday (Saturday).

When offered, he accepted the opportunity (with only an hour before showtime) to go see The Force Awakens (episode seven).

The transformation of Downtown Disney (which i knew like the back on my hand) to Disney Springs caught me off guard when the normal parking option was cut off.

In roughly three seconds of looking left to quickly assess the situation as we drove up the off ramp to the parking garage, it was too late to avoid a rear-end collision.

Taking solace in being a rare, speed-limit driver. The exit ramp was long and uphill, allowing for a gradual and natural deceleration.

Those two factors greatly reduced the severity of the impact.

Replacement post today

The original post that went live at 12:05am this morning has been taken down.

Why?

It was deeply personal.

Maybe too personal.

The key insight today is that passion and compromise sometimes must find a way to coexist.
