Five Blogs, Five AM

Please Don't Wake Me
Please Don't Wake Me

Yes, I’m writing today’s fifth blog sitting here in Disney’s Cinderella Castle.

Or, this may all be some strange dream or fantasy.

Did I hit the Florida Lottery?

Social Media, Apple, passion and just plain old fashioned hard work have placed me here in this dream state.

What an awesome way to start summer vacation, whether it’s real or not.

Awesome Is As Awesome Does

Go Daddy web hosting and their customer service is world class. Period.

How do I know?

Have been a Go Daddy customer for two years now.  Every single time I call Go Daddy support, the experience simply blows me away.

Why?

Because they do the routine, yet important things really, really well.  And they do it with world class consistency.

It happened again last night. Thank you Jason (may or may not be real name) for taking care of my Go Daddy Web Analytics set up.  When I came home last night, it was like being a kid in a candy store.  Go Daddy ROCKS.

My Friend Said This

“To know is to do.  To know and not do, is to not yet know”. —  jeff’s friend

Said another way:  “Common sense needs to be common practice”. – jeff noel

Otherwise, it’s like we don’t even know what common sense is.

Yes, this is painful to admit.  Yes, it’s not easy to apply common sense. Yes, our lives will become better (not perfect) if we apply more common sense to our lives.  Yes, it’s completely up to us. Always has been.  Always will be.  Carpe diem!

Steve Prefontaine & jeff noel

What do Steve Prefontaine and jeff noel have in common?

By the way, Steve Prefontaine was America’s running prodigy in the early 1970’s.  He held every American running record from 2,000 – 10,000 meters.  Every single one.

As a high schooler, “Pre” was featured on the cover on Sports Illustrated magazine.

Pre was coached by Bill Bowerman, legendary University of Oregon head Track coach and co-founder of a little company, Nike. Bowerman was the 1972 Olympic Track & Field head coach.

In 1972, at Munich, Pre was our best hope for a medal in the 5,000 meters.

Pre was a rebel who just so happened to also be a runner.  He reminds me of someone else.  Hmmm, now who might that be?
