Honeymoon – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

Grammy always said

Small apartment packed with packing boxes — Furnished apartment was full of furniture (of course), boxes, and an army of night-time roaches.

Shirtless man in a small apartment kitchen — Me spraying for roaches. Hopefully the baseboard, bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen spraying will help. It didn’t.

Two-story old apartment building — Lower, corner unit next to a busy cut-through road.

Four people standing outside a building — Cheryl’s Grammy and her cousin Michael paid us a visit shortly after we arrived. i think Cheryl’s parents sent Grammy to make sure Cheryl was ok and wasn’t in over her head with someone like me. lol

Two people posing at Epcot in front of a fountain and spaceship earth — Grammy and me at Epcot, September 1984. This was before selfies were invented. Someone actually held your camera and stepped back, then took the picture.

Cheryl’s Grammy always said, “Health is wealth.”

This is not an exaggeration, Grammy may be the most remarkable human being i have ever known. She lived to be almost 94 and she died in my arms.

Note: Cheryl and i flew home September 1989. i was in our best man’s wedding party and we stayed at Cheryl’s place until the wedding 60 miles away. Grammy passed before the wedding and we were conflicted about still attending Cort and Katie’s marriage. The answer was easy, Grammy would want us to go. So we did.

Island time

Well, I’m not fully loaded touring bicycle — Honeymoon a year after we are married.

When someone says, “Have you ever bicycled across a state or across the Country?”, what’s your answer?

Can you imagine saying, “Of course” to one or both?

We don’t know what we have until it’s gone

Victoria motel in the 1980's — Running water, shower, electricity. Even a phone to call (**collect**) home.

Victoria British Columbia — The **Empress**.

We don’t know what we have until it’s gone.

Stay humble and kind.

Our first Florida “Home” was a one-bedroom furnished apartment 18 miles from Disney World, $345/month. Unfurnished it would have cost us $305/month. But we didn’t own any furniture. None.
