Timing is everything

4-second video.

On the executive coaching call, the client is at an airport (not his home airport). He asks for a few minutes delay because travel issues happen when you least expect.

Once he’s settled, he calls back and we conduct our bi-weekly call.

Come to find out, he’s catching an Orlando flight to visit Walt Disney World (WDW).

He had no idea i was spending the day at WDW. i never mentioned it on our call.

He also knows that on any given day – or every day – i can spend the day (or a few minutes) at WDW.

Which could make a person wonder, did he make a special trip just for me?

Sometimes the answer is yes, simply to go the extra-mile.

Today, however, was just an extra-inch.

Why?

Already riding the monorail…why not take four seconds (an ‘inch’, effort-wise, in the big picture) to shoot and text a four-second “thinking-of-you” video?

Was afraid of falling just from watching this video on a laptop, sitting at my home office desk.

Thanksgiving Day, 2013

19-second video: For about 10 seconds in the very center, you can see the Grizzly moving slowly. Highline Trail and Going-to-the-Sun Road also clearly visible.

In 1979 i made a promise to write a book to my kids.

In 2009, 30 years later, a career wakeup call was a painful reminder the first sentence had yet to be written.

Additionally, there was only one child to write to, not several.

Only my Son and i knew the status:

Thirty years to write the first sentence
Two more years to write the book
Two more years to get the courage to publish

Had it published on Amazon in October 2013, knowing the official reveal to Cheryl with a physical copy would purposefully happen on Thanksgiving (2013) morning.

She had heard me talk so much about it, but never saw any tangible result. She thought i silently abandoned it.

Cheryl was shocked to hold a copy in her hands.

Was filled with gratitude – thanksgiving – that i finally did what i said i was gonna do.

Thanksgiving, on multiple levels, was the perfect day to tell Cheryl, and the world.

TRON Lightcycle Power Run

May 2022. Bicycled over to MK to have a look.

TRON Lightcycle Power Run may or may not be operational by the time this post publishes. As of May 2022, the target is late 2022 or early 2023.

Think back to May of 2022.

As we close the year today, are you where you wanted to be by the start of 2023?

Writing experiment hunches

4-second video: How to kill your joy.

Writing experiment hunches:

Morning writing is generally better for daily 5-a-day.
Afternoon writing is better when writer’s flood hits.

Been flowing in and out of both, depending on the day, week, etc.
