Priority Eve

Calendar — After weeks/months of literally zero cancellations, today the sky opened up. i put in for a three-day reservation yesterday. Didn’t get it. This Chalet is deep in the wilderness yet affords luxuries like a roof over your head, clean drinking water from an outdoor hose spigot, a pit toilet with a door versus a hole in the ground, and kitchen-cooked meals.

If you think health is important your first three or four decades, wait until the second three or four decades.

Why?

Once you’re a parent

Disney speaker jeff noel in mountains — Continental Divide from a seldom-visited hiker spot. This spot is also one of my most frequently visited, favorite spots. You can easily spot Bishops Cap from about a third of the way across the left horizon.

We’re here to teach for our kids.

To teach our son, i use the same three tools i use in my professional teaching career.

Note: Not everything your child needs to learn is going to be something you can teach them. However, you can teach them how to teach themselves. Teach them how to learn, how to be creative, how to take risks, and how to persevere.

Your vision map

Disney Pixar toy figurines in the mountains — From 2020 during Covid. Everything to the left (the East) was closed that year. Roughly 500,000 acres. Photo from the Continental Divide at 7,500′.

Mountain — Also from Covid in 2020. The picture, to me, makes it look impossible to summit from this side. Have actually soloed this summit after only two previous summits led by Steve and Stacy Wahlberg.

Your vision is your map. Your actions are your integrity.
dad

To know is to do. To know and not do is to not yet know.
