Piegan Mountain dominates the center with it’s shadowy cliff wall.
Summitting a mountain is indescribable.

The Snowman may be my favorite Christmas ‘special’. Narrated by David Bowie.
It’s challenging to describe why The Snowman is my favorite “Christmas Special”.
There are no words spoken from the characters.
David Bowie, however, provides ethereal narration.

Walking back from dermatologist yesterday around noon.
The pinkish spot (due to ‘freezing’ the skin spot) in the crow’s foot was the reason for the dermatology visit.
Wisdom is lost on youth.

Wisdom is lost on youth with unprotected sun exposure. Invincible. Who needs sunblock? Not me.
Wisdom is again lost, but this time on aging adults.
Older adults who aren’t proactive in mitigating probable consequences from youthful habits.
Started going to a dermatologist once per year.
Then we moved it to every six months.
Last year we moved it to every four months.
And just yesterday, an unplanned, highly proactive fourth visit in 2023 to check on a small spot near my right temple. The good news is it’s not a concern (at this stage).
Two choices: Leave it alone. Freeze it off. Guess which i picked.
No brainer.

These days, we can add that, in the eye of the beholder, a picture can be worth 1,000 words.
There are establishing shots. Mid-range shots. Close ups.
Note to self: Remain presently mindful when uploading pictures into these new photo albums.

Travel insurance makes sense under certain circumstances.
Been working on resolution since August. This email is from December 5, 2023. My response is below. Sharing it as a way for me to .think .differently
Design your life’s structure and processes with as few moving parts as possible.

Trip insurance only makes sense for us for one ‘hotel’ in Glacier.
Why?
Their cancellation policy, and price.
It’s a no-brainer that trip insurance makes perfect sense.
What follows is the email content i just sent to IMGlobal…
Drumroll please…..
Jessica, thank you for your message. Have to admit, the prospect of “proving my case” is daunting. Paralyzing even. Hence the delay.
Finally, today, i have an idea that seems like a “blinding flash of the obvious” — start with a small first step.
So here goes…
The Trip Insurance purchase date is actually from 2022, not 2023 (as you have documented). How do we reconcile that?
Once that is reconciled, we can take the next small step.
Thanks for your continued support.
Ps. Also including Sapphire, who has been with me on this journey since August.
— End email.–
Note: It’s now 5:00 PM…Today has been a great day. Every day is a great day. Why? Because of attitude. Yes, the sky could be falling (and since eye surgery four months ago, it often feels like it is) but i refuse to let let things i cannot control poison my thinking.
