Depth is how you rise to the top

College Admissions directors presentation
Began the day in Ohio, flew home, did some work, went to the High School, then drove 90 minutes to the Hilton.

 

College Admissions directors presentation
University of California Berkeley, FSU, and Northwestern admissions directors shared best practices.

 

The key theme at last night’s college admissions process presentation was depth.

Titles are nice, but titles don’t trump depth.

Depth and character are synonymous here.

We just need to swap car keys

Alamo customer service Philadelphia airport
We must contact the Philadelphia Alamo desk directly.

 

We just need to swap car keys.

i inadvertently left one of our Honda keys in the Nissan Armada rental car.

Cheryl made at least two dozen attempts at connecting to the specific location phone, after speaking with Alamo Customer Service at the corporate number.

Praying our key fab got turned in – and in a perfect world, we’d get a call asking us to confirm the best address for Alamo to ship it to us.

The main Customer Service line gave us their mailing address right away for us to return the second Nissan key, which i inadvertently kept by mistake.

Three story Walgreens with escalators and perfect moments.

Getting healthy is one thing. Staying there is the real challenge.

 

Philadelphia best Walgreens
The place was unlike any Walgreens i’ve ever seen – we have tons in Florida.

Amazing.

Walgreens flagship store is at this corner.

 

Stumbled upon the Flagship Walgreens.

It was surreal and maybe, very loosely, a spiritual experience.

Falsely believed for 45 years

Prince of Wales Hotel
Arrived mid-morning. Crazy windy, cold day. Front view.

The back windows provide stunning views.

The wind had nothing to stop it. The town of Waterton is on the right edge.

 

Had wanted to visit Prince of Wales Hotel since the first time i saw a photograph of it, maybe 45 years ago. Our day trip intervened future disappointment. I thought it was in the middle of nowhere much like Lake McDonald Lodge. While not in the middle of nowhere, it was not crowded. Cheryl spotted a bear 12 feet away as we pulled into the hotel.
