These days, we can add that, in the eye of the beholder, a picture can be worth 1,000 words.
There are establishing shots. Mid-range shots. Close ups.
Note to self: Remain presently mindful when uploading pictures into these new photo albums.

Simplifying complexity is a competitive advantage in any domain.

Simplicity is operational genius.
As CEO of You, Inc, you are running the operation of your life.
Simplify, simplify, simplify.

Travel insurance makes sense under certain circumstances.
Been working on resolution since August. This email is from December 5, 2023. My response is below. Sharing it as a way for me to .think .differently
Design your life’s structure and processes with as few moving parts as possible.

Trip insurance only makes sense for us for one ‘hotel’ in Glacier.
Why?
Their cancellation policy, and price.
It’s a no-brainer that trip insurance makes perfect sense.
What follows is the email content i just sent to IMGlobal…
Drumroll please…..
Jessica, thank you for your message. Have to admit, the prospect of “proving my case” is daunting. Paralyzing even. Hence the delay.
Finally, today, i have an idea that seems like a “blinding flash of the obvious” — start with a small first step.
So here goes…
The Trip Insurance purchase date is actually from 2022, not 2023 (as you have documented). How do we reconcile that?
Once that is reconciled, we can take the next small step.
Thanks for your continued support.
Ps. Also including Sapphire, who has been with me on this journey since August.
— End email.–
Note: It’s now 5:00 PM…Today has been a great day. Every day is a great day. Why? Because of attitude. Yes, the sky could be falling (and since eye surgery four months ago, it often feels like it is) but i refuse to let let things i cannot control poison my thinking.

You see this when a website’s SSL Certificate is expired. Lane8.org is NOT expired. So why the message? Great question.
This message should never happen on my sites. My Hosting Plan is always a five-year renewal. i’m good through 2028. Today is 2023.
If it’s good through 12.18.2024, then why on 12.19.2023 is there an error?
All 10 of my sites have been “Parked” by GoDaddy. This means no one can read the blogs or visit my Disney Keynote Speaker site. It also means i cannot access my WordPress Administrative Dashboard.
Darn straight it’s taken, until 2028, and then auto renew in perpetuity.
See the fine print? Good through 2033. This is not true, but suppose it was…there should be no error messages.
This pic is a transition from GoDaddy anxiety to Glacier Grace. Sunset from the Hotel balcony. That’s the Continental Divide’s Eastern profile.
Internet. Can’t live with it. Can’t live without it.

The challenges with GoDaddy the past two months are remarkable.
i’m remarking about the issues to every GoDaddy employee i speak with.
These are not excellence-driven remarks.
These are “WTF” (Wow, That’s Funny”) remarks.
It’s astounding.
Misinformation.
Unwelcome surprises.
Dropped balls.
Broken promises.
Over-selling.
Under-delivering.
And yet.
And yet i’m still a fan.
Why?
(sometimes i wonder why)
Because since 2008, GoDaddy has impressed me in the same league as Disney, Apple, WordPress.

4:32 PM (upper left). We departed at 6:27 AM. Called it the night before, 10 hours. Nailed it.
Have fun being right. Embrace being wrong. Learn from both.
dad
Tomorrow’s drive, with tonight’s pathway, is six-plus hours.
i’m calling it eight hours, simply by adding two hours to Google Map’s estimate.
Then there’s the wild card…
Monday morning. Driving to Walt Disney World. One week before Christmas.
Ho, ho, ho!
