Flashback to the rescue

6-second video: The moment it’s all done. Grab a couple pics and vids to capture the moment.

Dorm room — One year ago. Everyone had a single room. Covid drove this reality.

Flashback to the rescue.

The day caught up with us.

Relieved to have last year to grab a photo and video.

Grateful for the opportunity to be tired at the finish.

7-second video: Can’t make this stuff up.

Hey, got an idea for a TED Talk…

How to live vibrantly, at any age.

She’s 71, i’m pushing 64.

Age is just a number.

Vibrantly is a result.

Been cancelling like crazy

Pixar UP toys on a rock trail — A dime would easily cover the heart. Tiny. Surrounded by billions of stones. Nearly seven miles of trail from Chalet to car. The odds of seeing this upside down in a fleeting moment is zero. And yet it happened. Photo: Aiming up where we are hiking away from.

Been cancelling like crazy.

What?

Cancelling all June’s reservations: lodge, car, bike. Multiple iterations and combos – and redundancies – in case an unpredictable event closes portions of Glacier.

Why?

Because air fare is off the charts. For Cheryl and i to go bike Going-to-the-Sun Road is too much to justify.

The June trip dates to Glacier is driven by Sun Road opening. Sun Road opening is driven by snow plowing progress.

June airfare traditionally gets books a week in advance. That’s it. In a typical year, airfare never skyrockets. Right now, the July and August first-class airfare is less than an economy seat. And first-class is triple the norm.

The other two trips to Glacier are locked in months in advance and tickets purchased. If snow plowing had a guaranteed completion date, we’d have been able to lock and load our June arrival months ago.

Grateful for this first-world challenge. #PrayForUkraine

Spare change and questions

five handwritten questions on a post it note — Five questions as DU/DI reunion conversation starters. Never used them. Carried the post-it note in front pocket and forgot about it.

Spare change and questions.

Both are backups.

Rarely needed.

Usually forgotten like it doesn’t even exist.

Yet every once in a while, spare, or extra, comes in handy.

A giant sponge

Florida lakes from a jet — Approaching Orlando airport…reminded what a first time visitor might be thinking…”Wow, there are a lot of lakes here.”

A giant sponge.

Florida is.

Home is a sponge.

Yee-haw!
