Spoiling privilege

There’s no better way to spoil a person’s privilege than by giving them responsibility. ~ Chapin Noel

An oldie but a goodie…

The long way is the shortcut.

Bonus goodie: If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

Change what you see, home

Scenic mountain spot sign — The sign says it all. Summer 2024.

You know how this works. How can you not?

When you change what you see, what you see changes.

Change your priorities order, change what you see.

Day 2 WGcab, home

Fossilized seaweed. In GNP! Shut the front door!

Apple Watch and hiker in the mountains — Nearly 4.5 hours after leaving the car, we are now heading back to the car. An extraordinary trek. Note: we hit the trail at 9:40 AM. At the top, i paused the hike. That’s why the Watch says 2:51.

White dead pine tree in the mountains — This particular tree is iconic for those who have hiked Scenic Point multiple times.

Apple Watch fitness app at trailhead — We were not trying to descend quickly. Yet descending, even leisurely, is much quicker than ascending.

Black footprints on a sidewalk — East Glacier Park, on the Black Feet Nation, has three restaurants. Peak, Serrano’s, and Stageline.

Pizza slices on paper plates on a hotel balcony — On our return to the Lodge from Scenic Point, we parked in front of Stageline Pizza, ordered, and then enjoyed dinner from our room balcony.

Growing up in small town Pennsylvania, i was rich in independence but poor in money.

All these years later, our son is rich in money but perhaps poor in independence.

Just an unscientific thought. jeff doing what jeff does…

.think .differently

Note: After his 12th annual Glacier visit (his 6th with his HS buddies), they embarked on a train trip to Seattle before returning to the Sunshine State. His independence isn’t missing, it’s simply blooming later than mine. It’s incredible to witness.

Day 1 Walt Disney World, home

Apple Watch fitness screen — Four miles downhill from Chalet, with 2,400′ elevation loss.

motel lobby whiteboard — A traditional stop at Rising Sun Motor Inn lobby and camp store.

couple adults — Focused, casually, on a Glacier jigsaw puzzle.

ice cream flavor display — In our Lodge’s lobby store.

Sunrises and sunsets are insanely under-rated. Aim for daily viewing of both.
