The Tau of Steves: What You Don’t Know Could Fill a Book

Day 65 of My 1-Year Experiment

Summer July 2019

What’s been going on?  I continued transcribing more hand written journal entries into manuscript chapters.  

Welcome to Episode 65 of My 1-Year Experiment on today, July 14th.

Here’s a snapshot of the latest: 

“Shaggy had three games in three days. Was hit in the small of his back near his left side. Came up the next inning and got a hit. Told him how proud I was for him to face his fear. He had reluctant to play Triple-A because he might get hit. This weekend— helped Vickie and Mike move out of their house back to Michigan. Brian was Jeffrey’s best friend and Shaggy grew attached to him too, Elizabeth and “Craigers” became permanent fixtures at our house. Elizabeth was a surrogate daughter for Emma the Baroness. They barely escaped becoming “homeless.” With Mike’s two Pizza stores undercapitalized — they drained their IRA’s etc. and had escrow attached. They barely made it out of town with anything to show for the time they spent in California.

Random ones that make me want change my sign.

So, let’s see.  Is there any reason I should renounce my birth date and sign on to another?

Hmm.  Sorry.  I’m not feeling McQueen’s Holiday Tau today while submerged in my manuscript transcription project.

Leave it to WW&C’s Holiday Tau to mean more.  I’ll dive right in moving from one hand written journal chapter to the next until the whole morning has passed and the late afternoon shift in shadows draws my attention to my severe energy depletion.

For my consulting work, Smith’s Holiday Tau hit’s the mark when it comes to meeting new potential clients to prepare proposals that lead to contracts.  It’s one of the most difficult processes to master for me.

“5”  Steve Smith, 30: “Ask for what you want, request what you need, and adjust your offerings along the way.” Gemini

Nah.  Not going to do it.  Trends are my thing.  Anticipating how they influence my long term financial, career and family plans are critical. Sorry, but it might work for you as a TauBit for the Taking.

“2”  Steve Carell, 57; Steve Martin, 74; Steve Wozniak, 69: “Instead of jumping to the next trendy thing that has the potential to take off, hang back to see what happens.” Leo
