Cruel, glorious world

5-second video: Final 1883 episode. Superb. It ain’t for everyone. In my opinion, it’s for people who are living now, not waiting for later to start living.
5-second video: Simple pleasures as you walk around your yard.

There’s only one time it’s okay to lie. If someone’s life depends on it.

Son, humans crave honesty.

The paradox, similar to the extra mile vs the extra inch…or midlife crisis vs midlife celebration, is this:

Humans crave honesty but…

Humans aren’t honest.

Nor do humans want the truth.

Why?

The truth hurts.

No one wants to hurt another, nor do they want to be hurt.

The truth can set you free.

This is truth’s purpose – freedom.

Freedom scares the crap out of people.

Why?

Because every decision, every effort, every result – you’re on the hook for it.

Most people are too weak to be strong enough to break free.

i know this simply because i’ve lived it.

Your home life brand

Tim McGra Ticket order
Saw Tim in the late 1990’s.

Humble Servant.

dad

The above quote is my vision in life. It’s what i strive to be. Every day. All day.

Vision is what you want ‘to be’.

Mission is what you need ‘to do’.

Brand is what you want others (and yourself) ‘to feel’.

This is just a test

News channel screenshot
We were both on the phone today when it happened. The other person’s phone echoed the alarm. Kinda cool. Thank you USA security team.

Tests were invented to keep people alive. Make sure you pass.

dad

Created a family calendar event this morning to remind us that at 2:20 PM today the Nation’s phones were gonna blow up.

In my lifetime this is the first ever National test.

Literally hundreds of local, real time, real situations, emergency tests. Amber alerts. Tornado alerts. Local tests. Etc.

Dude, happy 52nd birthday

Walt Disney World's Eyes and Ears
Can’t fathom being there on the first anniversary. Wait, yes i can.

Who am i being that others do not see incredible possibility?

dad

Fifty-two years of Walt Disney World Magic.

October 1, 1971.

Yesterday was the anniversary.

Intentionally waited.

Why?

Because few remember.

Fewer still, care.

And there’s FOMO.

If you don’t act smart on the specific day odds are you’ll miss your opportunity to look smart – a fan-boy as they say.

Seeing the Magic Kingdom fireworks nightly (year after year) is my thought.

You can’t live less than a mile from WDW and have 66 combined years of service under your roof and not know what yesterday is.

Yesterdays videos were fun to film. Especially with CCR in the background.
