Love songs

Country music has some of the greatest love songs.

The genre, unofficially (according to me), also has the highest percentage of love songs.

Note: Christian music may have the highest percentage. (And it should). However, the karma here is love from human to human, not human to deity.

It just works

MacBook Air box
New MacBook Air. A second one. Bigger.
Apple About screen
Old, 2015, MacBook. Notice the 225G space “used”, with only 15G of “System” space. New MacBook Air is using 370G, with just 125G available.

Apple’s operating system is famous for, “It just works.’

Hopeful and confident it will.

Planned for worst case scenario with the call to Apple Care.

Note: Got the reassurance i needed from Apple.

Bald Eagle being chased. Yesterday.
two birds in flight
They swung back around. While walking yesterday, i was also watching the sky. This photo opportunity was over quickly. When you zoom in, it’s harder to keep the subjects in frame. Kinda a miracle these shots happened.

Disney Institute on the horizon

Life is funny.

Disney Institute is funny, in a weird way.

In a week, i’ll be there all week.

This is gonna be cool.

Why?

How could it not be?

After 11 years since retiring, maybe one DI colleague is still there. His name is Ben Reed.

It will be (unusually) fun to know what i know, and no one will know what i know.

Note: If you’ve never worked in this space, presenters have a habit of feeling like a rock star. And, presenting themselves like a rock star. Why? Because they sound like someone who ‘wrote the book”. Someone who has lived a life others aspire to.

The truth: They haven’t. Not even close. It’s a privilege to know this “insider information”.

Hello personal leadership

movie ticket purchase confirmation
Went with Sandro and Tracy. While enjoying dinner at their house last night, and while we enjoyed dessert, we reserved these tickets.

Planned ‘hellos’ are the opportunity of your lifetime.

  1. New dreams.
  2. Old dreams.
