and after this trip, I have more to put to page than I can now inventory. Halloween. After this, a sprint to and through the holidays. Nurse running an errand, me here going over this past week in SoCal, and the next week. Meeting this morning with one of the Dev Trainers, developing content all…

Meditation… the lobby.
Me. Taking inventory.
Car ready. Me with my final cup of coffee I promised myself, and some LoFi.
People in the lobby, some working, some with coffee at the bar watching whatever’s on the screen above the back-bar, the employees moving slow too. Me here in a step of self-assessment and awareness. Not reacting to the negative notes that try to get near me. I refuse to react. My whole story, this Sales…

07:24 – Up and one message sent. New slides for Field Sales and MDU PPT set to side, then some content gathered yesterday. Still waking up. Coffee slowly helping. Saw someone working out in gym area, and I feel failed. Didn’t sleep well last night and didn’t get my workout checked off as I wanted…
jouRNal-ING
10-22-25 Class done. Couple tech issues but nothing overly concerning. Writing new methods and notes for future classes, points to present to whomever inside the Company, and elsewhere. Learning from the day you have to adapt. That nothing is truly a plan as all “plans” come with the possibility of change or edit. 15:50…. Need…
Home. 17:06
Leaving early tomorrow. Going through backpack, trying to pack minimally, but it’s hard not to bring both laptops, and the iPad. Should I keep the iPad at home? Or… no, take it to work. Write the book there. 17:07, want a sparkling water. Thirsty, ready for the curriculum finalizing tomorrow and this whole week. Plan…
A shot from yesterday. I mean, day before. At the mountain.
Isolated path, taking a minute for me, SELF. Quiet. I didn’t need anything, I wished for nothing. Simply seeing me, that moment’s Mike Madigan and what he was. Examining his thoughts and the quality of his meditation. The same being done today, but more precision in that snow-scape.
Going forward with the SHU project, and soon business. Not just a sales thing. More.
Marketing and brand assembly, storytelling and narration. Fetching debit card in a sec, then securing the domain. But then I pause and stay in a mindful stay at this counter, with coffee. My first and last here at the house after the latte with Nurse. Randomness, the unexpected, Postmodern and easily visible notes and stories…

10-18-25 08:41, up and heading to coffee. Are we bringing Oliver, the Nurse asked. I expressed indifference, which means I’d rather not. Only ‘cause he gets excited and anxious and panicky when in sight of other dogs. Behind on wedding countdown project. Need to be better. Tending to now. 10:27 back at house. Coffee and…
Still Tired from the Drive — 09:44
Still wrecked from yesterday’s road trek-sail — miles and madness, fucking 101 Peninsula traffic, gas station Diet Coke, and some talk radio chatterbox screaming about the end of traditional advertising. Home now. Working. Or performing the ritual theater of IT. My IT.Calendar’s mercifully thin — a couple things to swat at later. How long was…
