Haves and wants, home

Mountain chalet
This was a temporary HQ in mid-September 2024. We had both rooms.

The saying goes like this…

We always want what we can’t have.

What if the saying was re-engineered…

We always have what we can’t want.

That reengineered sentence doesn’t resonate with me in any obvious way. Kinda like the way today’s blog titles didn’t fully go where i thought they might.

The “Summer 2024” blog experiment seems to have slowly morphed into a new style of writing, driven simply from trying to efficiently scale the admin side of the blogging effort.

Noteworthy: When blog titles are generic, like “Sperry Day One, mind”, the topic can be anything — ton of flexibility. When blog titles are not generic, like today’s titles focusing on a contrast between haves and wants, the title suggests you stay in that lane. This is a new discovery and new creative opportunity.

Turns out, Apple has an easy way to sign pdfs.

When you expect power to go out you become weirdly vulnerable.

Yes and, the long way is the shortcut.
Said ‘jeff-style’, the magic of compound interest.

Then and now

Mountains
When you zoom in you can see the Sperry Chalet complex.

When the person you think you could have been meets the person you’ve become, how will the conversation go?

Will it be instant bonding and celebratory or disconnect, confusion, regret?

This is something we can work on daily — for when the inevitable meeting happens.
