Simple question, right?
When asked, is your answer immediate, or do you hesitate?
Time for one more question?
What are you going to do about it?

After all, Skip is a Marine. And, he’s been a friend, for like 30 years. We roomed together for a year while in college.
If you read yesterday’s comment, Skip accomplished his “mission”. I knew he was baiting me, but couldn’t resist his bait.
And if you read my reply to his comment, you would have discovered that what I’ve shared so far is literally just the tip of the iceberg. The vision for how these five blogs can make a significant impact on humanity will blow your mind.
It will be revealed as time passes. While the audience is our son (9), everyone who has a desire to do good and decent work is invited. Most likely, if you visit here regularly, you also have a desire to be a better person, and you also dream crazy impossible dreams.
Lorie Sheffer, our regular Sunday Guest Blogger at Mid Life Celebration, sent me an email yesterday. It had to do with a crazy man’s vision – a man so crazy they ridiculed him, laughed at him and shunned his art.

Just before the entire Columbia, South Carolina airport power went out, I was filming a one-take-You Tube video of another airport hallway billboard sign.
Had the power not gone off, I would have finished the one-take-You Tube video with, “What I am trying to do is expand my reach, relevance and impact.”

Sanibel Island 2009
“Be yourself. Everyone else is taken.” — Life Is Good slogan
I used to look for sea shells on Sanibel Island, Florida. You know the ones – the perfect shape and color. The ones that looked like they came from the sea shell store.
