Our line.

There are two stories with this one. First, I’ll get straight to the point. This is the final Friday Randomness.

I did a list at this time last year with my top 5 randomnesses. It sort of felt like cheating then and doing one this year also feels a little like cheating.

Thinking about the year, specifically outside our bubble in little Wenatchee, Washington, a lot happened. A lot.

I recently went through The Purge. I suppose since I’ve done it before and it’ll happen again, I should call this more aptly ‘A Purge.’

I guess I’m writing about another movie we watched this week. After this, I’ll be done talking about movies for a while. Maybe.

‘There’s a new mountain movie on Netflix,’ K said this past Tuesday evening. What!?

With leadership, there are always plenty of serious things to talk about. But I didn’t want these random thoughts to always be serious.

K and I recently watched the documentary ‘Fauci’ on Disney+. He was talking about a speech he gave during the AIDS epidemic.

I’ve brought up before how a lot of us––myself included––have a hard time accepting a compliment. Just as hard for me I guess is accepting a gift.

This one may seem obvious or elementary. Like I recently mentioned, it’s mostly for me. Maybe you, too.

A lot has come from a four-day retreat I led for last year’s OIA Skip Yowell Leadership class outside the little Colorado town of Meredith. Like I know most of the folks are doing, I’m also still processing what was all shared.

We’re traveling this week for a retreat in Colorado. Tonight, we had Matt Manzari speak. He shared his story about, as he put it, pain and suffering.
