He’s Just Lucky – Page 13 – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

Sir, i’m sorry but you’re going to have to leave

Disney Keynote Speaker — Gambled that i’d be the only one on the back wall if i simply opened the door and walked in. i was correct.

Michael Jr and jeff noel — Michael Jr initiated the photo opportunity. i simply piggy-backed on his first move.

jeff noel — Demonstrating how to make selfies more interesting.

Disney leadership coaching — Three quick photos. Different angles. Looking at things differently helps you to .think .differently

My peripheral vision detected a person approaching me as a stood against the back wall watching Michael Jr speak..

Sir, i’m sorry but you’re going to have to leave.

Nope.

She didn’t say that.

She asked if i’d like to join her and her group.

Saw the last 30 minutes guilt free.

As i waited in the lobby for a ride to the airport, Michael Jr. and i had a chance to talk just before he drove to his next gig in Chicago.

PS. During Michael Jr’s speech, i got a little teary-eyed trying to comprehend Melissa’s generosity. Her invitation to stay blew my mind.

Your mileage may vary

Odometer — Had to photograph the 2002 car’s mileage yesterday – for State Farm Drive Safe and Save app.

Heading out the door for surgery in a few minutes.

i’m the driver.

A 12-mile drive.

The patient will recover afterward from anesthesia and will need to be driven home.

i average 6,300 miles per year on this car.

Well below normal.

What is normal anyway?

The best option was to arrive early and wait outside in the cold

biking in Winter Garden Florida — Two days ago riding to bike shop from gym…Winter Garden Cemetary. Stopped to write a thought (coincidently about funerals) down in the Apple Notes app. PS. The microphone/dictation feature often works below an acceptable level while riding with wind noise.

ATT Store — Context. Stumbling into this ATT store was ridiculously random. One of the few stores open at 9am…a warm place to pass time.

ATT Store iPhone display — Passing time at ATT Store until bike shop opened at 10am. Googling “Disney Keynote Speakers” was also random.

Glacier Cyclery — January 13, 2018. Biking Going-to-the-Sun Road will happen for the first time this Summer.

Disney Board announcement — Yesterday. Business is often unpredictable. Bank on it being so.

Disney Customer Service Speakers — Passing time at ATT Store until bike shop opened at 10am.

The best option was to arrive early and wait outside in the cold.

The second option was to Uber to the shop.

Cheryl drove me to the bike shop an hour before it opened because we needed to leave earlier than necessary yesterday, a Saturday, so she could attend a funeral.

i needed to get to the bike shop to pick up a repaired bicycle – so i can ride tomorrow (Monday).

With an hour of waiting, i challenged myself to relax and make the most of it. Walking around without a plan was fun and different, and it kept me warm.

PS. The bike ride home on my “new bike” was wonderful.

Would you mind if we substituted 30 for one?

St Mary Lake — Driving by and not stopping it literally impossible.

Two Dog Flats Elk — Two Dog Flats pullout. Parked and waiting to see some wildlife at dusk.

08.06.2016 – 200 from jeff noel on Vimeo.

A simple dinner from food in our rental car trunk at 6,650 feet and we were happy. Afterwards, we descended back to the East side to look for bears. Almost immediately we saw a solitary elk at Two Dog Flats. But we waited and kept watching the lone elk. Minutes later, a dozen more appeared from the forest’s right edge. Watching through the small binoculars came motion from the left. Two dozen more elk. A nice way to end the day.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Luck favors the prepared

Waterton Park — It looked different as we left to drive back to Glacier.

Chief Mountain’s character changes with the sky.

Glacier Bear spotting — This is what it looks like just before the bear’s head becomes visible.

Two Dog Flats view — Across St Mary Lake at Two Dog Flats.

The return to dinner at Rising Sun was followed by an early evening drive to Two Dog Flats to look for a bear.

We got lucky almost immediately.
