Leaving a trail for our son – Page 128 – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

HQ Concert

39-second video: Signature song. They saved it for last.

8-second video: Who doesn’t know this song? No one, literally.

12-second video: Final, final-song. Music saved a life.

We left our home at 2:30pm and returned after midnight. We marveled at the day’s nine hours we invested in the 5-hour concert.

Didn’t realize until the very end (above video) that the drummer played with one arm only. The drummer lost his arm in 1980’s.

And, early into Def Leppard’s first couple songs, couldn’t help but marvel, and appreciate, the ‘backbone’ drum beat that filled the stadium. Never knowing until the very end how extra-ordinary the drummer is.

Apple Watch — Goodnight. Four hours+- of Rock ‘n Roll.

26-second video: Bonus vid. The final one i took last night. Just noticed that the drummer plays in bare feet.

Above and beyond

Woman at a bar — Pretty civilized for Glacier.

Feeling confident that even though i can’t see or access my reservation, it’s legitimately in the lodging company’s system.

Life is not an HQ desk job

no mail message — Zero in box. Quite the concept. Quite the vision.

The thing i’m finding interesting about “retirement” is the ridiculous proposition that we could try to figure out how much time we have left and plan accordingly.

Almost like it was yesterday

Two adults sitting in a home office — Margie and Johnny took the cross-country Amtrak train from Pennsylvania to visit us while we lived on campus at Washington State University. We, unregrettably, didn’t make it to Glacier.

i already know what to expect when i spend ample time in Glacier.

By the way, for context in ‘jeff-land’, one week is not ample time.

Neither is two.

Three weeks then?

Nope.

i can even extrapolate out to one month isn’t considered ample time.

So, going out in July and returning in October…..

Could be decent.

Note: Well aware the 2024 Hurricane forecast is the highest in the history of forecasting. There may be a compelling reason to return home to ride out a big one. This extraordinary hurricane forecast has remote potential to once again cut short the original plans to spend ‘ample’ 2024 time in Glacier. Time will tell. Happy present moment.
