July 23 and 24, reverse wildcard, work

Disney Cruise
This is Carl from Pixar’s UP sitting in his chair as he read Ellie’s note. Adventure is out here.

Cheryl and i have talked about a Glacier Farewell Tour for a couple years. And 2026 is perfect timing.

Why?

Two catalysts:

  1. First, after 500 nights at Glacier National Park (GNP), we’re feeling satiated.
  2. Seeing my recent ‘final” retirement (Dec 31, 2025) coming, we wondered what we might do with all the extra time and money not spent in GNP.

Simple.

What you got?, work

I love my blog pins
There is a story about how writing five daily, differently-themed blogs was simply a 100-day self-imposed writer’s bootcamp so i could get writing experience before attempting to write my first book.

What you got?

This is me every morning, since April Fools Day, 2009.

What did you learn yesterday?

What do you get to do today?

What do you hope for tomorrow?

Everyday since April Fools Day, 2009.

Never missing a day.

Ever.

Why? (good question, eh)

Taking the day off, work

18-sec video: Florida Black Racer. Barely visible. But I spotted it while taking a short sit-down break.

Taking the day off from blogging seems like a ridiculous thought, let alone a ridiculous thing to type.

Yeah, like that is ever gonna happen.

But seriously.

The hours i spent today thinking about a simple, repetitive sentence. Unusually invested in ‘almost nothing’.

Anyway, am surprised to see the words flow well past one sentence copied and pasted on each blog.

Spent a lot of time thinking about how to blog with a single sentence for all blogs.

When doing manual and enjoyable labor, tending to your landscape (garden), there’s plenty of ‘thinking time’.

Blogging’s hidden blessing, work

Blogging question
The answer is obvious if it’s not already obvious.
the number 5 in yellow squares on a floor
Five-a-day, everyday, without missing a day, since April Fools Day, 2009. What a blessing.

Dear Son, to me, blogging’s hidden blessing is its love for the writer.

Blogging grants me the blessing of sharing what i want, when i want, in the way i want. Blogging allows me to do this prolifically too.

It’s free, except for an annual website hosting plan and two hours of your day, everyday.

i love MacBooks

i love MacBooks.

Macs are simply bigger screens than iPhones and iPads. Sometimes, that feels great, even necessary. So having a bigger screen often makes what is already easy, even easier. i like having the option.

Plus, Mac OS has more power and versatility than iPhone’s iOS.

The size and weight, however, make MacBook portability challenging.

Cannot imagine life without a MacBook to use whenever the need or desire arrives.
