HQ = the in-box of life

Make a wish. The wisp floated into the car while i was typing.
The Hidden Lake Trail was perfect for recording marketing videos, but the microphone wasn’t working properly. Ordered a new one when i came down from the Mountains.
Pool app not working and i’m certain it’s something the pool tech simply needs to turn back on after servicing the equipment.
Driving “home” to Rising Sun Motor Inn after a long day at a Wi-Fi hotspot in St. Mary Lodge.
Yes, this is from the 6-mile drive West from St. Mary to Rising Sun.
Less than 24 hours after upgrading my 8-gig plan to unlimited, I lost the personal hotspot ability. Kevin reinstated the original plan. Back to being able to tether other devices.
That’s a lot of data.

The photo captions capture and chronicle the paperwork of life that crossed my desk yesterday.

Of course there’s more than highlighted here, and that’s the point.

Spent six hours sitting inside getting caught up with my business administrative tasks.

The good news is:

  • The Wi-Fi i discovered is awesome.
  • The wind was too dangerous to be hiking in.
  • i am back at the same place today making continuous progress.
  • This morning was windy and cold – great rational for being inside.

All by yourself

Logan Pass parking lot at 8:30 PM last night. Going-To-The-Sun Mountain.
Dreamt of seeing this “planet of snow” with my own eyes.
Last night i was able to stop on Sun Road without worry of a car behind me.
Embarrassed yet grateful to discover an easy solution. Seems silly i never knew.

All by yourself can be glorious. 

Had Sun Road to myself. 

And Logan Pass. 

And Wild Goose Island. 

And, because our Son flew home yesterday, the hotel room. 

In the silence i discovered the most remarkable (and embarrassing) tech solution. 

With the touch of one setting, i enabled cellular data to upload photos. 

Thought wifi was the only option. 

Note: In 4.5 hours, 150 photos and videos uploaded while i slept. Had i done this on day one, the day at the library wouldn’t have happened.

Practice like you mean it

Disney Keynote Speaker jeff noel
We filmed about 20 short marketing videos yesterday before lunch. Note the red can of Bear spray on my hip.
Forky in Glacier National Park
Have fun as you attempt impossible things.
House from Pixar's UP
Love what you do and love who you do it with.
Wild Goose Island
We pass this spot at least twice a day.

Practice like you mean it.

In much the same way i got good at speaking (2000 speeches) and decent at podcasting (29 episodes) – by practicing repeatedly – so it goes with marketing videos.

Do something so often that you eliminate all the worry of not having any (or much) experience.

Common sense but not common practice.

When it blooms it pours

Prolific Beargrass
Stunning Beargrass last night just East of Logan Pass.

We learned last year that the Beargrass blooms were the best in 50 years.

We missed it.

Right now i’m wondering if the current bloom is equal to or better than last year.

PS. i organized this Summer to be able to be in Glacier to witness just such a phenomenon.

Earning their Ears

Redwood on still camera. Getting the best angle from up in a dead tree.
Sun Point used to have a number of Lakeside Chalets.
Trees are great places to get a different angle.
The crew. Small and mighty. Nimble, creative, patient, grateful.
Disney Leadership Speaker jeff noel
Heavy Runner and Mt Reynolds as we drive to Logan Pass.

L-R: Mt. Oberlin, Clements Mountain, Mt. Cannon. Not far from The Loop.
Too many people and too quiet in Lake McDonald Lodge, so i cancelled plans to film here.
Capturing real life in real time, yesterday.
Belton Chalet
Belton Chalet, Lewis Cottage.

The basement had great wifi for us to use. Our office had none.
Redwood
Redwood singing and playing like he means it.

Earning My Ears is a red ribbon new Cast Members wear with their name tags. 

The red ribbons used to say, In Training

Big difference. 

The difference is big for our Guests, not for Cast Members, but you probably already knew that.
