We are all weird. What with our idiosyncrasies. Some of which we are proud of. Others we feel a slave to.
In 2008, at 49, with a 50th birthday more than half a year away, i envisioned a 10-year plan to commence on my 50th birthday: five more years at Disney (for a total of 30), and five years to put a dent in the Universe.
No male on my dad’s side has made it past 60.
This morning i caught myself feeling like i am taking for granted the 3.6 years remaining (until 60).
Important note: Jack Noel lived to be 67. Early onset, rapid-progression Alzheimer’s Disease stole his cognitive abilities by the time he was 60.

Steve Jobs would have turned 60 tomorrow. No man on jeff noel’s Dad’s side of the family lived past 60. As he approaches his 56 birthday, he (as we all should) is mindful of a ticking clock.
He’s not afraid of 60 as the end.
He’s actually insanely cognizant that none of us are guaranteed tomorrow.
Yet he is racing as if 60 is all he’ll get.
A deadline makes decisions more important and excuses irrelevant.

On the desk in the Pennsylvania home is a small Snowman pencil holder. No big deal. Many homes have themed decorations.
Can’t help but wonder if these items become commercially viable because the civilized human race is spending insidiously less time outdoors.
Does the snowman pencil holder remind us of Winter or does nature?

Not gonna lie.
People say this with varying degrees of frequency.
You know, a figure of speech.
It usually is a prologue to some wonderful or some horrible situation that person is currently experiencing.
For example:
Not gonna lie, this has been a very busy Summer and the past few weeks, while amazing, have created a sense of overwhelm.
It’s the number one job to figure it out.
Your’s too.
