Love how this breaks the stereotype. Surprised i noticed it. It’s a Hula-guy, not a hula-girl.
Referrals are gold.
Here’s to the crazy ones…
Be a noticer if you can spare the time.
While i noticed the hula guy when i parked to pick up our Son after swim practice, i often don’t always notice the other two images that reside next to my desk.
But when i do notice those art pieces, i remember why i retired early from Disney.
PS. Similar, but not the point of this post, i noticed a lot of unhappy leaders at Disney. Many feel underpaid and underappreciated, secretly thinking they are worth much more than they get credit for. My advice? Leave. Start your own thing. See if you were right.

At 5PM, Irma’s moving West. That wasn’t supposed to happen.
At 5AM, Irma’s moving even farther West.
Still taking the prescribed pills Dr Weinberger ordered in 1999. This one is called exercise. The other, diet.
Wow, never before in history.
Almost “showtime”, as we say at Disney.
Raleigh is two and he is thanking me for letting him ride out Hurricane Irma.
Just when you think you know it all, you don’t. Not by a long shot.
We went from Hurricane Irma targeting the Keys, to Irma turning around and potentially missing the United States completely, to it moving west again, and right over our home.
The latest has the eye just West of us which is called the “dirty side” – the strongest and most destructive side.
That’s where we line up with the latest update.

Alamo Customer Service – Called again during Salt Lake City layover. Lakita promised (i insisted she promise) me she’d let the Kalispell Alamo Counter know (sooner rather than later) there are two cans of Bear Spray in the trunk.
Back in Orlando, the photo download routine begins – 1,400 photos from GNP.
Home sweet home. My desk lamp.
Hurricane Irma’s path puts us out of harm’s way.
Wish Lakita and i would have done a pinky-swear. Odds are she never called.
Why do i say that?
Go look in your email inbox and tell me how many emails are there.
Most people are overwhelmed by the flow of incoming work.
How do i know?
i’m just like everyone else.
But a few years ago, i transformed my personal communication habits.
Every message i receive gets a response within 24 hours, usually same day, and often within hours.
In the old days, i’d procrastinate and then completely forget.

Apgar Village Inn. Every room faces Lake McDonald.
We cruised through 10 miles of smoke on Lake McDonald.
Ok visibility at Apgar.
Labor Day weekend crowd.
Glacier National Park t-shirts. i teach the Disney Compass which is part of the Customer architecture.
Glacier National Park t-shirts. Howard likes the left one. The right one reminds me of Disney.
Glacier National Park statistics.
A t-shirt and a post card showcasing the view on a clear day.
Glacier National Park t-shirt – seems to smile from up top.
Same t-shirt – seems to frown from the bottom.
Glacier National Park t-shirt – founded 1910.
In Apgar Village there’s one restaurant and one ice cream shop. They share the same name, Eddie’s. Huckleberry pictured above.
Howard telling stories.
Howard is a quiet guy in general.
Sperry Chalet fire 2017 – from GNP FB page.
Sperry Chalet fire 2017 – from GNP FB page.
The right glow is closer than i remember it last night. Look carefully in the upper middle left and you may notice two light spots – fire on Mt Brown.
In a perfect world, we’ll get 5.5 hours sleep. It wasn’t a perfect world last night.
The fire on Mt Brown (left side of photo) is raging 11 miles away. The right glow started mildly concerning us.
We became mesmerized at the fire trying to breach the ridge (a couple miles away. With high winds coming at us, we agreed to be ready at any time to jump in the car.
Foreground: the two balcony chairs outside our window.
As we retired to our room from a wonderfully relaxing day, and crawled into bed, we watched the fire grow in intensity and wondered if the Canadian cold front winds could push the fire to our hotel before dawn.
We watched the “show” for three hours until 11PM.
At 10PM, we stepped outside to try “one more time” to get a photo that did justice to what we saw with the naked eye.
Panic.
Our door shut and neither one of us had a key.
Lake McDonald’s waves now had white caps crashing the shore and i wore nothing but running shorts.
Unless another Guest invited Howard and i to sleep in their room, i pictured hypothermia.
i also knew we’d miss our 3:45AM drive to the airport.
i witnessed my third “save” in less than a week.
