Star Date 09.04.25
If you think I’m a little radical when it comes to planning, you’re not wrong. Long ago, someone shared a phrase with me that still echoes in my mind—the 7 P’s of planning: “Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.”
As much as I love my day job, I love my wife and family even more. That’s why my day job has a deadline. I like to joke that I’ll retire one day after my 70th birthday so I can still stop in and have a small slice of retirement cake with my teammates. Since my birthday falls on the 4th of July, and the store is closed that day, the celebration will simply have to wait until the 5th.
Maybe that’s why I’ve always had a soft spot for Spock from Star Trek. Precision mattered to him, and it matters to me too. Some of you may wonder why I’m so tuned in to the exact time I have left in this chapter of life. The truth is, that’s what aging does—it sharpens your awareness of time. And if you ask me, time seems to accelerate as the years roll by.
At 65 years and two months, I find myself even more determined to leave the world better than I found it. There’s still plenty of work to be done. And yes, I’ve got a surprise brewing—something big I’ll be sharing soon.
Stay tuned. Have a great day.
