In this sometimes very cynical world...a pause to ponder greatness and good. Regardless of your computer preference, an important reminder. Easily my favorite TV ad of all time. I play it periodically as inspiration. So many of my heroes and so many who changed the world. Here's to the spirit of adventure, innovation and imagination. It will change the world again and again.

In October of 2000, me and my family flew south of the Equator to Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. Truly a magical place, and it was a privilege to visit. The island is roughly 36 miles in circumference and is surrounded by a barrier reef. The protection from predators makes it a haven for some incredible underwater life. The native people I met there (Maori) were some of the kindest I'll ever meet. At 3:41 you can see Piri at the top of that coconut tree. He scaled it in maybe 20 seconds. A wonderful, kind man who helped us learn many local customs. You can learn about him here: http://www.piripuruto.com/ I found all of my Photo CDs today, and wanted to share the images with all of you. Enjoy the trip. "Beyond The Sea" sung by the great Bobby Darin Kia Orana.....

Some new arrivals in one of the houses in the yard. A great thing, as their habitat here is shrinking by the year.
