“The Tau of Steves: What You Don’t Know Could Fill a Book”
Summer July 2019

Happy 4th of July on Day 59 of My 1-Year Experiment. We enjoyed the fireworks show with neighbors and their friends. The night lit up with an awesome spectacular which launched from the little league ball fields on the opposite side of Olympiad — so named for the Olympics cycling event — from the lake.
Festivities were on my mind, believe it or not, as I published “What Were Dillon and Keystone Resort Like Before the Great Recession?” At least the subtitle: “The Uncorked Mountain Wine Festival at Keystone, Colo features delicious wines, award winning jazz, and a juried fine art show in River Run.”
Random ones that make me want change my sign.
Let’s be honest, I’m force fitting G&G’s Holiday Tau for a humble brag sorta. I did figure it would be easy to identify who — most frequent lifestyles, that is — lived in each zip coded town I had on my bucket list.
It wasn’t.
My source changed hands as a business several times. The big deal part that snapped together in a “eureka!” moment was realizing I was the only one who could tell you how many millennial lifestyle profiles used to live in Dillon, Colorado.
How many left during the Great Recession and who replaced them. And, if those lifestyles left, where their lifestyle showed up later in, say Lake Tahoe, California. Not even my original source could tell you that!

Believe me taken together WW&C’s Holiday Tau with McQueen’s described my ups and downs.
“4” Steve Winwood, 71; Stevie Wonder, 69; Stephen Colbert, 56: “A person has to be pretty cunning indeed to outsmart his or her own worst tricks and self-sabotaging behaviors. Such is the mastery of living.” Taurus
I can’t lie, this one is more aspirational for me, I’m hoping to surface my real needs for it to come true.
“3” Steve McQueen (1930 – 1980): “Maybe the thing you’re trying to do with sheer willpower can be more easily accomplished with a better understanding of your real needs.”Aries
Thanks. I’m sure this rings true for many, but not so much for me today.
“2” Steve Smith, 30: “The thing that ultimately drives change is your desire for the change. Seeing someone who has it will be the magic motivator.” Gemini
This one seems like something I should remind myself from time to time, but not for a different celebration of fireworks.
“2” Steve Aoki, 41: “There are those who turn minor criticisms into major arguments and take helpful comments as personal slights. It’s not so much an invitation to quarrel as a call for help.” Sagittarius
