I am grateful to be back in the recording studio with Norm after a too-long hiatus while I got my house stuff wrapped up.
My favorite bourbon enthusiast (Norm) also introduced me to Basil Hayden’s. I’m a believer.
I am grateful for an evening with no agenda to unpack and unwind.
I am grateful for the incredible beauty and geographical diversity of Custer State Park. I never tire of visiting this wonderful and awe-inspiring place.
Shortly after waking Sunday morning, I stepped outside the cabin to listen to the creek nearby, got to see this bison (video) stroll casually nearby.
I am grateful for Norm’s advice to intentionally decide whether to have a discussion or an argument.
I am grateful for the vision and fortitude of Korczak Ziolkowski.
To accept and undertake such an incredibly immense endeavor shows a passion and a will I cannot comprehend but have tremendous respect for. He undertook the world’s largest mountain carving knowing full well he would never see it’s completion. Few people have that kind of dedication, vision and perseverance.
I am grateful for being able to spend a leisurely vacation day in a small town I love.
Since discovering the Black Hills while living in Sioux Falls, SD in the mid-90’s, I have made it a priority to visit every five years or so. The visits in 2000, 2005, and this year have all coincided with the Crazy Horse Volksmarch.
I am grateful to have participated in the most important meeting I’ve been involved with yet at work.
The external consultants gave their final presentation today to a very high-profile group. I got to meet our President and was complimented by the consultants in front of the entire group twice during the meeting.
I am grateful for a much needed and well-deserved massage.
I am grateful to be turning over the house I love to some great folks.
Closing on Wittewood went well and we got a chance to spend some time with the new owners, during the walk-through.
After a tremendous amount of work and assistance from Norm and other friends, I am grateful to have all of the wood (rough-sawn lumber) finally moved to its new storage location and was able to enjoy a completely relaxing and carefree day.
Thanks to a friend that helped me actually locate an iPad in Madison, I also got to finally configure and use that too. Really like it!
