New bucket list item

Man sitting on ground in mountains — On 2024, hoping to wean myself off of ‘wanting’ to visit Glacier. Photo: waiting for the sun to climb over the Continental Divide (left & center horizon). Have my phone, freeze-dried breakfast skillet, spork, cup of hot water and a napkin. Life is great. My family joined me a week after this.

We judge ourselves on our intentions. Others judge us on our behaviors.
dad

Just started floating around the idea of making it a (higher) priority to want for nothing.

mountains — Summiting Pollock Mountain, 2023.

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.

You have no idea

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.
dad

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.

Fancy photo album

Frameo app screen shot — This is a cool Christmas present.

A picture is worth a thousand words.
Sage saying

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.

Revisiting zero inbox

empty iPhone email inbox screenshot — Ever heard the Popeye’s Chicken jingle? “Love that chicken from Popeyes“. Modify it to, “Love that zero inbox”.

Simplifying complexity is a competitive advantage in any domain.
dad

Simplicity is operational genius.

As CEO of You, Inc, you are running the operation of your life.

Simplify, simplify, simplify.
