* Beyond maintaining my personal health, I invest time loved ones being family, friends, customers, and acquaintances. * My first thought is funny and I can't wait to share. * I save cards, leftovers, money, energy, ladybugs, and more. * I make a big deal about hellos, good byes, good mornings, and good nights. * I hold doors open but occasionally walk into closed ones. * I rarely curse unless in a joke. * I haven't held a grudge. * I remember special days but forget the day of the week. * I ask questions but don’t always remember the answer. * I seek to make a difference rather than seeking promotion and recognition. * I don't complain much but can rant about anything. * I rarely quit. * I arrive on time or you’ll be bombarded by status updates. * I park quickly not close. * Weekly, I run, lift, play, and anything else I'm invited to do. * I prefer to wear jeans all winter, shorts all summer, and sneakers all year but I dress for the occasion. * I eat my food and everyone else’s but offer bites. * I drink no calorie drinks and eat big desserts. * I let cars in unless they are taking advantage. * I play music so loud my car mirrors shake. * I walk on escalators and moving walkways and if you don't please stand to the right. * I care about how something is rather than how it appears except on Halloween. * I’d rather discuss ideas but I can make small and smack talk. * I reduce, reuse, and recycle. * I keep a diary of funny stories so I can look back at them and LOL. * Junk in my trunk includes balls, racquets, Frisbees, kite, run/swim gear, chair, umbrellas, etc. * I've done everything needed to build a house and touched every part in a car. * I annually go on international and domestic vacations. * I'm a big fan of the single parent but not a fan of the famous. * I subscribe to Paul Riviere news (if important then someone will tell me). * I believe new sneakers make me faster, a manual transmission (or electric motor) makes my car faster, Cisco makes the Internet faster, and my companionship makes time faster. * I believe new sneakers make me safer, Tesla autopilot makes my car safer, Zscaler makes the Internet safer, and my companionship makes others feel safer. * I believe that I can do anything except a 4 min mile, a 10 sec 100M, and a slam dunk. * I believe hiking without mountains is walking and climbing without your hands is hiking. * I'm less concerned with where someone's been or where they are going but instead that I enjoy their company in the moment because life is just a series of moments.
