Group solitude?

Half dozen hikers deep in the wilderness
We were the only ones at this mountain pass. Five miles from the nearest mountain road. About 60 miles from anything close to resembling a normal road.

Can you enjoy solitude in a group?

Depends.

On what?

Where you are.

Huh?

If there are nine of you at 7,500’ elevation and literally no one else on the one-million acres surrounding your group, then yes.

Excel

Excellence feeds on excellence. It’s a habit. Same with the opposite.

Nearly seven weeks from the one-way ticket to the mountains.

In a perfectly-planned world, i’d be leaving in four days.

This Summer will be more of the same and more different.

How can it be both?

Better yet, how can it not?

Excel at all you do, including adventure.

It’s out there.

No regrets.

GNP Day 59, work

15-second video: Behind the scenes, on the way to the airport. Sharing just for fun.

Personal leadership vibrancy includes nuances like noise cancelling headphones, while flying eight hours today.

We are also wearing face masks. We are likely the only ones on a full flight doing so.

Small things, healthy choices, add up.

The leadership part of vibrancy requires doing the basics brilliantly.

To know is to do.

To know and not do is to not yet know.

Lead yourself.

It’s your greatest privilege and your most remarkable opportunity.

Still in migration progress? Impossible. So back to, what the heck?

Three text-thread photos from before we left the cabin this morning.

Today is October 1.

On September 25, renewed and upgraded (to double my GoDaddy Hosting Server disk storage capacity).

Listen to GoDaddy’s ‘voice’.

If you were me, would you be concerned?

Hurricane Ian.

Needed a simple (yet anxiety-summoning) decision to not rush home for Ian.

As the days passed and Ian left Cuba, Orlando became a bullseye.

Remember, 40 years in Orlando. Never missed being home during an Orlando hurricane.

Also remember, Ian was billed as one of THE most powerful hurricanes to ever make landfall. Turns out it tied for fourth most powerful. Ever. Landfall at 150 mph, heading directly for Orlando.
