Would you mind if we substituted 30 for one?

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

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.

Luck favors the prepared

It looked different as we left to drive back to Glacier.

i can’t make up a name like this.

 

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.

Disney taught me to do this without thinking about it

The two advance calls paid off. We got the best room. It’s perfect. Remembering people’s names is so Magical. Remembering a little bit about them is also Magical.

Being organized sometimes requires luck

Being organized sometimes requires luck.

Two-plus hours at the Dentist instead on one hour. No worries, we walked out with the latest in braces technology, Invisalign.

Come home, eat brunch, notice pool waterfall isn’t on. Check pool pump to discover after four years, it’s not working. Ok, so it’s 11am Friday. We leave in 24 hours for a writer’s retreat.

What are the odds of getting a replacement pool pump (with zero notice) the day before leaving home for a week?

Without an immediate (see day) fix this time of year, a week without circulation and we’ll return to an algae pond.

Stakes are high.

Darren was out to the house and done in less than two hours.

Beginner’s luck meets the worlds most powerful brand, Disney

Most admired brand
Just one day prior to Fortune’s Most Admired list, Disney was named World’s Most Powerful Brand.

 

Beginner’s luck runs in my Family.

Had no idea when i was hired in 1982, that working at Disney for 30+ years would provide a special place in the professional speaker marketplace.

Most business leaders recognize the powerful, common sense approach Disney maintains and continuously improves.
