1. Article I read this week… I read a great article this week, realizing about halfway through that the author, Oliver Burkeman, was the author of the excellent book, Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management For Mortals. The article was in The Guardian and is titled… Oliver Burkeman’s last column: the eight secrets to a (fairly) fulfilled…
1. Video I watched and book I’m listening to… I’m about halfway through a book titled Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know, by Adam Grant (Thank you, Robin P.!). I wanted to share a bit about it, and found this very well-done video on YouTube summarizing the book. At a time…
1. T-shirt I love… I saw this t-shirt last week and loved it. It’s from a restaurant/bar in Clearwater Beach, Florida (Palm Pavilion). I love the colors, love the image (beachside shack, palm trees, surf boards, sailboat, Adirondack chair, etc.), and LOVE the quote… “It’s never too late to start Living the Dream.” (Thanks, Jim…
1. Cool video footage I re-watched this week… I am a fan of drones,… and I am a fan of fireworks. So, the two together is a definite hit. My brother had sent this video a few years ago (thanks, Greg!), and I re-watched it this week. It is a drone flying through a huge…
1. Something cool I saw last weekend… While pulling into a large shopping plaza last weekend I heard, and then saw, two gentlemen playing music in an open corner in the parking lot. The one was playing the violin, the other playing a keyboard. There was a large speaker projecting the music loud enough that…
1. Wording I’m working on this week… I have read about it before (and you likely have also), but this week I read it again. We know words are VERY powerful. Simply using the words “I get to” instead of “I have to” can have a profound effect on your attitude, enthusiasm, and outcomes. After…
1. Documentary I watched… I recently watched the documentary Fantastic Fungi. It is so good! (Thanks for the recommendation, Jack!) I love learning more about things I think I already know and understand. The medicinal potential of mushrooms is incredible. They are extremely powerful, amazingly safe, cannot be patented, and treatments utilizing mushrooms (for difficult…
1. Biggest news this week… Well… Lana and I got married last week! We kept it small and simple, with just us and our six children. We did it on the beach in Costa Rica and packed in some adventure around it. The trip was incredible, the weather was perfect, and the wedding was amazing.…
1. Moving video I watched… In this time of immense uncertainty, I can’t help but think of the potential we have as a country. Coming off Memorial Day, thinking of all the men and women who have given their lives for the freedoms we have (and shamefully take for granted), I hope we can stand…
1. Posts I’ve been following… I love new designs, breakthroughs, and seeing new inventions and ideas. I find some really new and cool stuff on this site… Absolutely fascinating! Here is one of my favorites… 2. A reality check I had this week… I was sent this pic/post this week (thanks, Sue M.!) with this…
