Good morning 2016, i’m dying.

Did he just say that?

Yep.

i’m dying.

Here’s the thing, we are all dying.

Few of us are preparing for it.

In 2008-2009, i started to ask myself, “Why?”

The buzz that many had last night from alcohol pales in comparison to the buzz i get from living without regret, living with peace and contentment, living with constant gratitude.

Lived with the first (alcohol) for about 28 years. Living with the second (no alcohol) for 15 years now.

Yes, this is an expert opinion.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Thank you WordPress.

WordPress makes it possible for me to be in complete control of my websites, and my writing and publishing.

i began blogging in late 2008, so it’s been eight years with WordPress.

As this goes live on March 24, 2016, i’m one week away from finishing seven consecutive years of writing five daily, differently-themed posts.

In just eight days, on April Fools Day, year eight begins.

How is this even remotely possible?

Heading to a reunion. A 34-year tradition.

 

Some trips, like the upcoming France trip are pricey. Others, like today’s non-stop to Charlotte cost $101 roundtrip.

Every year since 1981 the college buddies have gather together for an annual meetup.

Organized for double dipping?

We talked about it mid-trip, the notion of visiting Land and World on the same day. On the final day (yesterday, March 9) flying from Los Angeles to Orlando we semi-committed to doing it. On the drive home from the airport we decided to go for it.
