Career Concert

four people at an outdoor concert
Flashing back to a few hours before Def Leppard. But now back to Def Leppard…
27-second video: From a 40-year old album. Timeless classic.
43-second video: Is it too late?
18-second video: Too late?
13-second video: That drummer!

Using Disney (and childlike) creativity, i started a game while we waited for the first band (Cheap trick, see top photo).

“Whoever spots a teenager, the other three (top photo) owe that person $5 each.”

So, $15 for each teenager you spot.

Could be fun. And interesting. Made up the game because i could not find a single teen. The goal was simply to have our group have fun, realizing it’s an outdoor stadium filled with mostly seniors.

So cool.

Fast forward before it got dark.

They each owe me $200.

Now back to Def Leppard.

Incredible show.

Have a Magical Day (or Summer)

Disneyland, 2020.

If Disney ran your life, everything matters and nothing is optional.

Seriously.

Have fun.

.think .differently

Lean into discomfort.

No regrets.

Sorry for panicking

Screenshot of an email
This is what panic looks like in the morning in “jeff-land”.

Fingers crossed.

Life is not a career desk job

quote about habits
Habits are what define every human.

Habits are what we think and do without thinking.

Auto pilot.

Some habits are intentional and some are formed by accident.

And the weird thing about habits is, habits don’t care if you meant to or didn’t mean to. You’re gonna be doing that thing for the rest of your life.

Take work for example.

Been working my whole life. And now being semi-retired for the past decade, the thought of not working at all makes me feel guilty.

Definitely not a fan of feeling guilty.

The thought of waking up and having the whole day be about what i want to do and what i want to enjoy, it almost seems hedonistic.

Working on a resolution.

Remember when?

Two adults sitting in a home office
Margaret and me. Wearing a USATF t-shirt. Margaret lived 94 years. So this photo is from 2017 or earlier. This may have been the last year i was able to run freely.

The reality of my excitement to return to Glacier after Summer 2023’s medical emergencies is different than i thought it would be.

Excited? Certainly.

But, actually, no more than any other Summer.

Why?

Not sure.

Perhaps because i like to under-sell and over-deliver. Especially to myself.

If Summer 2024 is to be super special (because of 2023’s abrupt end), then it will be.

Not putting pressure on myself to expect it to be.

And truth be told, that’s the exciting part.
