Random personal fact: I’ve never been able to comfortably sit cross legged. My right leg just doesn’t bend that way comfortably. I’ve long wished to work on this but not enough to do so. So I sit with my left leg in the crossed position and my right merely bent with foot flat out in front of me.

It’s October 1st which means three things:
- I order my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season
- It is, by my declaration, the official start of autumn.
- I’m another year older (57).
More walking. Less talking.
We are all many things. We all do many things. We will do many more things throughout our lives. Yet, when we are gone, most will primarily remember only one of them. They will pick from the lot and remember you as that. What they pick will, in their mind at least, be all that you are. Therefore, it is our job to ask ourselves with all the things we allow ourselves to do, with each and every one, “Is this something I want to be remembered for?”
This is why it is important to make “No” your default response to most things. Those things that seem like great ideas should get a “maybe” until they earn a solid answer one way or the other. But “yes” should only be given to those things that, if you were gone tomorrow, you wouldn’t mind being remembered for.

One of my favorite things is walking around my neighborhood. Especially with my wife. We live in such a lovely place with beautiful homes and wonderful neighbors. All the shops and restaurants are great too. Gratitude overload every time.
This is your regular reminder that Polls are Propaganda.
The only polls that matter and are guaranteed to be accurate are the ones we visit on election day to cast our vote.
How to write a book…
Think very, very deeply about something for a very long time.
Write it down once your head gets too full to keep it in anymore.
That’s my experience, anyway.
Today’s thought: If you change nothing, nothing changes.
There’s a fall-like chill in the air today and this is the day the Pumpkin Spice Latte is available again at Starbucks.
Coincidence? I think not.
The footsteps of the future are formed in the present.
