Smoking is a priority

Dan Fogelberg Souvenirs album — Worth a second look. Played it until the wheels fell off.

Dan Fogelberg was a smoker?

Who knew?

Same with me (a smoker).

Our Son doesn’t believe it.

Remember, dad only smoked when he drank, and he only drank twice a week. Weekdays and weekends.

Haven’t had a drink, or a smoke, since December 30, 2001.

Ps. Smoking is a priority if you do it. What? Yes, if it wasn’t a priority, you wouldn’t be a smoker. Get your priorities prioritized. You’re welcome.

Pss. Here’s a bonus Led Zeppelin video, roughly 32 years after Bonham’s 1980 death. Led Zeppelin never recorded music again.

Thus concludes a few days of teens and 20’s flashbacks. Over-focused to the highest level. At this point the only music i “own” are the 100 CDs that will be donated to Goodwill this weekend. Downloading all Zeppelin, Fogelberg, and Buffett CDs in case i ever find myself without an Apple Music subscription. Gasp!

Honestly, picture yourself in an assisted living facility, but still wielding an iPhone. Will die listening to my three favorite music artists.

Houses of the Holy

Led Zeppelin CD back cover — Led Zeppelin – Houses of the Holy, 1973.

Houses of the Holy may be the most underrated Led Zeppelin album.

Maybe hearing it at 14, the same year a Glacier National Park visit blew my mind, makes this a special album.

Maybe it’s the theme of a Holy House and HQ.

What did you do today to make your home a little better (holier?) than yesterday?

Anything but short and pithy

AC unit covered in frost — This morning. Thick frost on AC unit.

Today’s posts are the opposite (the paradox) of short and pithy.

It happens sometimes.

Slightly-more-than-freezing temperatures at Walt Disney World.

We shall end on that note.

Mountain headshot

You weren’t expecting a video.

You weren’t expecting a small plane at eye level.

Neither was ~~eye~~ i.

Faintly heard it and correctly guessed the horizon it would appear from. Nice mountain headshot, eh?

Note: Organized enough to forgo a fifth headshot today. Organized enough to have a juxtaposed mountain headshot. To be at eye level with the mountain tops is one thing. To capture an airplane also at eye level to add depth to the visual experience, crazy.

If we weren’t all crazy

If we weren’t all crazy, we’d all go insane.

Be crazy.

Lean into crazy.

Have fun being crazy.

There are plenty of tense people.

Do not add yourself as one more.

Pro tip: Maximize your energy so all five of life’s big choices are performing at the highest level.
