You win some, you lose some, you wreck some. The 96th Indianapolis 500- the best way to convert money into noise---was fast paced with lots of lead changes and drivers dabbling  in and out of  the boundaries  of disaster. There’s no secret to ovals. You just press the accelerator to the floor and steer left. The drivers  who think the brakes are for stopping usually don't win. As Mario Andretti said, "“If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.” These open wheel drivers are like fighter pilots, flying in a gymnasium. The crashes fans  remember, but drivers remember the near misses, but nobody remembers who finished second but the guy who finished second. For the record, New Zealand's Scott Dixon was runner-up this time. The weather was hot in America's Midwest after an emotional tribute to last year's winner  Dan Wheldon, the popular Englishman whose  thrill of speed overcame the fear of death  and in fact,...

The Infinite S mile  O f Ordinary Living My linguistic skills got a triple bypass at Nana.   There are over 900 jai phrases. I stopped counting.   Genius is constant attention but pure attention, without advice, without judgment is absolute kindness. What better compliment to pay my host country,  the land of smiles, than with pure attention, as I did in Mae Sot,  Hat Yai, Phuket, C hiang Mai,  Nong Khai   and Bangkok. See: All Thai'd Up    Khao San Road - the most spectacular outbreak of mass delirium that you are likely to see Wheels Down, I enter Lonely Planet, and wish there were more people. Countdown-3-2-1... To achieve great things, two things were needed: a plan and not quite enough time. I had both. Remember the gypsy curse--- May you get what you wish for . Ba-bamm, like rap music, in your face, pedal to the metal, one is none, and I am part of the idea that everyone is better than anyone, kind of an open source chaos for livi...

Nautical Odyssey - Work as Prayer & Ocean Transformation 🧭 ⚙️ Work Is Prayer A Nautical Odyssey of Transformation A Universe of Stories My universe is made of stories, not atoms: land, air and sea travel and the power of now. If I wanted to be a multinational soul, I couldn't do it in cities where I taught English like New York or Los Angeles, Paris or Tokyo alone—I needed to get consecrated by sailing on the oceans. The Sacred Silence It's a wonderful thing to get rid of everything and everybody and just go some place where you don't know anyone; where, as Melville said, "God's one and only voice is Silence." — Herman Melville If hollywood is loneliness under a ...

The Cruising Godfather: Declassified Files 7 Cruises I Had to Go On Before I Died Seven voyages that turned a bucket list into a work schedule, a passport into an operating system, and the sea into a second education. See Full Image Show Text Ordinary World The Call Answer the Call Foreign Land Trials The Elixir I hoped the Pacific was as big and blue as it was in my dreams. It was. Having no education can be an economic death sentence, but a unique talent grants you a global passport: free to know, go, and do. Talent makes capital dance. I sold my cleverness and bought bewilderment. Luck became more predictable when I took more chances. The road to excess led to the palace of wisdom, then to voluntary simplicity: getting rid of what did not serve me became a value-add. At sea, the always-on consumer culture disappeared. Creativity returned. Focus returned. I was not trying to be better than anyone else, only better than I used to b...
