surgery – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

Day 2 East Glacier, home

4-second video: This type of video requires a ‘Disney Speaker’ to be at a Disney Theme Park and reply to someone in real time. At will. Only a handful of professional speakers in the world can do a video, at will, like this. Truth be told, i know of no other Disney Customer Service Speaker who can/does.

email screen shot — He replied that he did receive it. Weird that i can’t find a copy. But grateful to know the timely GUSH opportunity wasn’t missed.

Maybe the two day departure/arrival delay is the Universe’s way of gifting me with an even greater appreciation for what is about to happen.

Been waiting on yesterday’s departure for nearly a year.

And to return to Glacier with both eyes still functioning is literally a miracle.

Maybe the Universe thought i needed to recenter my “miracle-conscience appreciation”.

Dear Universe, i trust your judgement. Thank you.

Eye surgery followup, home

43-second video: Wearing my cataract surgery ‘sunglasses’. i’ve kept them since April for moments like today. Much better looking than the solar-shields you get at the retina office. But know that i am placing them over my eye-glasses, so it does look a bit senior-citizen redneck. And i’m down with that!

This morning was a great morning.

As i write this from the home office in late afternoon, we are an hour away from picking up our Def Leppard compadres for a dinner date at a local Italian restaurant.

Too good, at home

airline web page — Easy-peasy: In one week we return from Glacier. Then a three-day break at home. Then a three-day out-of-state client engagement. Guess what’s after that? Our son is flying back from Australia to attend his College graduation. We wouldn’t miss it. And after we spend a week together in Baltimore, i’m off to Nova Scotia.

Magic happens with conviction and commitment. But don’t push it on others.

Politics and religion remind me of zealots.

The zealots make me nauseous.

Conversely, my zeal inspires me.

Why?

Because it’s self-imposed.

No one but me is looking at my deficiencies and my opportunities.

As it should be.

Religious and political zealots, to me, forget that their right to be a zealot does not make them a deity.

Note: Talking lofty stuff is scary. Exciting too. And if i really want to pursue lofty stuff, i need a coach that pushes me hard. Writing lofty stuff is the echo of my own voice talking to me as my coach.

It all started with a retina tear

Dr Gokul Kumar — Everything starts somewhere.

I hope we never lose sight that everything started with a Mouse.
Walt Disney

So ironic that right after returning from a month-long 2023 Summer visit i lost left-eye eye sight.

And yesterday, right after getting an excellent eye exam, we are days away from returning to Glacier.

How cool is that?

No one likes it

Tv Weather forecast — It’s that time of year in Orlando when we turn on the AC and never turn it off until October. It’s mid-April today, Sunday. Yes, it’s 84 right now.

Pool app — Guessing the air temp is close (because the pool pump house and the pool pump motor may inflate the ‘outdoor temp’). Assuming the water temp is accurate.

No one likes a know-it-all, unless it’s their surgeon or professor.

Sometimes i wish i had the capacity to slay my insatiable desire to learn and apply wisdom, and then publish it.

It’s a blessing and curse (but not really a curse).

Note: And when i say ‘sometimes‘ i really mean always.
