Weather.com says the current Anchorage, Alaska temp is (4AM) 19 degrees, but the official “feels like” temp is 12 degrees.
Hope your day is full of warmth, no matter the outside temperature. Carpe diem.
How Cold Is It?

What Makes Living Close GREAT?
Living close to The Walt Disney World Resort and all the Disney Theme Parks has certain benefits. How could it not?
One of them is the opportunity to visit often. Having a pass that lets you visit any day of the year, all year, is one of the coolest things.
With the cooler Central Florida temperatures arriving, locals with annual Disney Passes are enjoying Disney Parks more often. Just like my Family has been doing.
How Many Posts?
Total posts?
Since March 2009, 1,152. From five daily blogs, by the way.
Not bad for a guy who simply wants to “leave a trail” for his young (9 years old) son.
And, oh yeah, one other thing. Not bad for a father that wants to help raise enough money until a cure is found for his son’s incurable disease.
Hopefully, you’ll never tire of hearing about this. I don’t. How could I?
World-Class Benchmarking
Benchmarking. Seeing, not how others do things, but more importantly, seeing how others think.
I am a serious bench-marker. Way more than the average bear.
There will come a time when my (five) blogs have more sophisticated features. All good things take time. Rome wasn’t built overnight. I didn’t wake up one day and get to represent the United States at the WMA Master’s Track & Field World Championships. It took a decade.
Anyway, this blog caught my eye because of Trent’s 14 Money Rules. Click here to go to Trent’s blog. Scroll down a bit, its on the right side column.
Money, like our mind, body and spirit, need constant attention, otherwise we will not reach our potential.
Rules For Being Human
I’ve had this article for ten years, given by a friend. The author is unknown. Here it is in it’s entirety:
The question remains, despite all the work and inquiry of the researchers discussed in this column and countless others: How can we build committed, competent people and workforces?
I received the following as a handout at a class I attended; the author is unknown. Because these reflections give me solace, I am sharing them.
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time information school called life. Each day in this school you will have opportunities to learn lessons. You may like the lessons, or you may think they are irrelevant or stupid.
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error, of experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately work.
4. A lesson is repeated until learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
6. There is not better than here. When your there has become here, you will simply obtain another there that will again look better than here.
7. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9. Your answers lie inside you. The answers to life’s questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10. You will forget all this.
jeff here again. How was that for the first installment of “Too Long Tuesday”?
