Live to move

15 miles on a bicycle

You can be smart about topics yet unwise about life. Be smart, and wise, about your education.

dad

Wrote this in an email to a client just now. Copying and pasting it for posterity:

“Please trust me that finding the right people is 10x more important than speed.

The wrong-fit person just gets you to the wrong place faster.

Then you have to start over (again).”

Disney changed your parents

We don’t do these things because we’re Disney, we’re Disney because we do these things.

dad

The above quote is my response to anyone insisting that Disney has special abilities and secrets that outsiders can’t touch.

It is my way of trying to snap a person back to reality.

Stop making excuses that excellence is only reserved for privileged people and privileged companies.

Home legacy?

Papa John’s pizza order
Cheryl was gonna make homemade pizza. Hers is better than Pizza Hut or Papa John’s. But, life. So i just ordered it. Insurance for incurable diseases, and the other side of the world kinda issues…yes, we thought we were done trying to be finished and had finally moved forward. Nope.

Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams.

dad

It’s time to grab a copy off my bookshelf and reread Mid Life Celebration.

Not because i need a reminder.

Because i need (want) to stay ahead of Tanner.

Basketball scoreboard

Mid Life Celebration, the book, could have a few tweaks, or, i could write the sequel.

dad
