APRIL FOOLS RECAP 2023

I didn’t even celebrate April fools this year. Always makes me sad when I don’t play a prank. Or make a joke.

Like come on dude?

I think the best prank we ever played was putting “pop-its” under the toilet seat. You know, the little fireworks you throw at the ground, they snap.

When your friend sits on a toilet seat with 10 of those underneath, it’s absolutely hilarious. You know exactly when it happens. You could be outside in the yard and hear it. Classic.

KENTUCKY:

Similar to March, the first part of April entailed some travel. Aja and I flew from CO to KY for a wedding and Easter.

The older I get, the more I cherish and miss home. This year I helped my Mom in the yard voluntarily. That’s how I know I’m getting old. At one point I got so bored I hopped in a pickup my dad had and just drove around town — my literal old Kentucky home.

So much memory, yet so much change. The further away I get, the more it all means… Nostalgia at work in Independence, Kentucky.

WORK:

Works continues to takeover the forefront of my existence. It requires more mental energy than the hours might suggest.

I like what I do. I talk to people all day. I believe I have something to say. On good days, it’s fun and energizing. On bad days, it’s utterly demoralizing.

There’s balance though.

Selling is easy once it becomes a game. It’s all inputs and outputs. Energy and effort equal results. It’s that simple.

WRITING:

I am running out of things to write.
Or it’s harder to focus?
Or I have less time.
All ideas are valid.

“Writing instills order — first for self, then for others.”
