I’ve been sitting with this theory for a while that what matters most is who you are when all your stuff is stripped away – your house, your car, your bank account. Who are then then?
I think Sophia Loren is right by focusing in on your skills and your positive impact – and tying that to eternal youth. ๐คฉ Have you noticed that great musicians like Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, and Paul McCartney just keep going and going?
There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love.
I was out for walk last night when a neighbor called out from his yard, “Hey, are you gonna vote tomorrow?” “Yep,” I said. “Okay, cool. Just don’t screw it up,” he said. ๐
He didn’t tell me who to vote for, and I won’t tell you. But I will ask some pretty pointed questions.
Must be back in Texas. ๐ Best time of the year here (except spring). Also, way to go, Astros! Yeah the Longhorns had more fans here ๐ but the โStros are the champs! โพ๏ธ๐ #armadilloden #austin #texas #beergarden #outdoorlighting #shotoniphone #nightphotography via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CkoCf90pNzo/
In honor of last night’s World Series no-hitter (this first since 1956) here’s a quote from Yogi Berra, the guy who never said most of the things he said. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
If youโve tried to hit a 90 mph pitch (which I did once or twice at a batting cage), you know exactly what heโs talking about. You canโt even see the ball at that speed much less think about hitting it.
What are some other things you can’t think and do at the same time? Offhand I’m thinking of skateboarding, singing, dancing, playing guitar, shuffling a deck of cards, telling a joke…
