“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes – the ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules and they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing that you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things.” – Apple Computer ad, 1997
I feel like I’m lookin’ in the mirror as I read that.

CMA on ABC last night. CMA Music Festival was broadcast on ABC television last night. I didn’t watch it. Too busy.
However, coincidentally, I got out my old portable CD player to listen to one of my favorite country songs, “Big Time Dreamer” from Ty Hearndon’s 1998 “Big Hopes” CD.
My son asked if he could listen to a song. Talk about timing! Here’s the chorus:
“I’m the son of a big time dreamer that’s where I get my dreamin from. Daddy was a firm believer in the power of love”.
And if that weren’t enough, he listened to one more, “Tears In God’s Eyes“.
It’s obvious that most are insanely busy, with little time to read and view everything posted here. But try to imagine this. Not only do I read it and view it, but also research, think and post it.
Five blogs per day, everyday. I could never expect you to keep up with it all, unless I was a big time dreamer.

Humble Servant.
These two words resonant.
Hard to explain why.
If there were two words, and only two words, that resonated with you, what would they be?
Hoping to someday soon be a humble servant. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
Pizza delivery. What a wonderful convenience for busy people.
Saturday, Our son had a friend over for a playday. I did the cooking for dinner. Seriously.
Papa John’s to the rescue.
What makes this casual, and routine, situation special is that the gentleman who came to our door not only brought pizza but also some fuel for my fire.
Yes, it’s Summertime. Yes, it’s like crazy hot in Central Florida. No, we didn’t have a fire burning in the fireplace (although we sometimes do during the summer).
Simply put, he commented about the dedication he sees in my running commitment. He’s been living here for eight years and has seen me running “every day”, for eight years.
We can tell people our big plans, or we can simply do it. Thank you my friend, for reminding me of the power of our example.
