Smart is as smart does

All success can be boiled down to consistently doing the common sense thing for an uncommonly long time without convincing yourself that you’re smarter than you are.

You ain’t smarter than God.

But you have been given the same heart.

Walking to Disney World

Apple Watch fitness app on a person's wrist
Snapped this at 11:30am. Still have 300-400 meters to go. We’re meeting at 12-noon.

Walking to Walt Disney World never gets old.

The privilege to do it at a moment’s notice.

The prerogative to do it any day of the year.

The experience to know the shortcuts.

The ability to walk far.

“Church” right here.

This 2025-Christmas has been the most fun Christmas wrapping Christmas ever.

Generally, i’m a below-average gift planner.

This year, i upped my game.

Captiva Day 4, spirit

The morning’s start at ‘Tween Waters marina. Usually the only people there.
12-second video: Standing on Mitchell’s Sandcastles’ beach. We see tons of birds.
11-second video: A special moment at a special place. Serendipitous timing. Karma. Love. Our first American Bald Eagle in three days. And, the only one we saw all four days.

We made a special trip to our Family’s annual Summer Florida beach destination. Our son grew up spending a week here every Summer for 20 summers.

Cheryl and i estimate we’ve visited Sanibel over 30 times.

Twenty five of those times with a ‘Canine Son’.

Luther, Carter, and Cooper all visited every Summer of their life.
