Hidden in plain sight

Wildflowers in glass of water
Cheryl picked these from our yard and put them in the permanent wildflower holder next to the kitchen sink.

Seemingly insignificant gestures are love’s greatest testimony.

Note: This is a scalable (everyday, all day) process we have in our kitchen and yard. Flowers bloom year round. The kitchen sink wall has a permanent wildflower display holder.

Mountain chalet at sunset
Photo from Terry and Sally. Gifted them a 3-night Granite res but they could only break free from their businesses for one night. They texted me their joy. Grateful to repay them in an unexpected way.
Social media Stoic quote screenshot
Common sense, eh? Coming from a Stoic, it sounds profoundly insightful.

Everything don’t change much.

dad

Nothing new under the sun. Sure, science reveals truths and explains the Universe. However, science doesn’t explain how to change humanity into a just, safe, and joyful community.

Your most important question

What’s the meaning of life? Your answer should be an all-in answer.

dad

What’s the difference between an important belief (value) and an inherited belief (value)?

Depends.

The answer to literary everything starts with, “It depends”.

Inherited is random and unintentional.

Inherited can be transformational.

Odds of intentional are similar to that of starting a thriving business that lasts well past three to five years; roughly 3%.

James Christ

Laughter is no enemy to learning.

Walt Disney

In college a couple drinking buddies loved Jimmy Buffett. Could never understand why.

A few years later, at the University of Idaho, i had a bartending job.

The radio only played country music because Moscow, Idaho didn’t have a Rock station.

The owner had two cassette tapes. Can’t recall what the second one was, but the first one was “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes”.

Before i became a Country music fan, Buffett’s tape was the go-to playlist. Constantly, it seems in retrospect. Etched in my soul i guess.

Fell in love with the vibe.

Buffett’s songs reminded me of Florida, palm trees, the ocean, and sunshine.

Next thing you know, i’m in a Washington State University (WSU) (Go Cougs) record shop and went to the album bin that started with B and found a couple Jimmy Buffett albums.

Don’t recall which album was my first, but i quickly wore it out, playing it constantly and being mesmerized by Buffett’s style.

Before you know it, i owned everything he released. In 1983 that was 10 albums.

Note: We lived on WSU’s campus in an all-women dorm. Cheryl was a Residense Hall Director and lived on-site. It’s where we lived a year before and a year after we married. Eight miles across the state line, i attended University of Idaho and worked at a novel hot-tub rental business with a beer and wine bar.
