This is Prisma. She’s the brains and the chaos behind Cyladin’s Netherworld resistance. She pushes him to take decisive action that’s often beyond where his moral compass allows. These are some of my best visuals of her. And I’ve got a video that will follow this soon!

In a stunning moment I captured the Moon, Saturn, and Venus in conjunction over the Imagination Pavilion

@honestlarry.bsky.social Rickey Henderson cannot die, really. “Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.” Rickey is a legend. He is immortal.

My man Marc with the ridiculous @paytonpritchard.bsky.social stat of the day:

My favorite basketball player is playing some great basketball! And the Celtics keep winning!

Just popping in to say the Celtics are a completely different monster with KP in the lineup. Last night showed it. Let’s keep him healthy all year and through the playoffs!

I’m creating a new world for a series of episodic short stories set in a near-future cyber-world. Here are two of the main characters. Which image do you prefer?

Brothers in life. Brothers in victory!

Them: “Dad, can we watch a show?” Me: “No.” Them: “What can we do?” Me: “Figure it out. Include your sister.” Five minutes later they’re teaching her a board game way below their age level, having a ball!

Happy Monday! Friends tell me they love my stories, which often about basketball and my kids. I have a lot of stories. People love stories! You'll see more stories from me in the future!

AI is not going to destroy us. And it’s not going to create Utopia. AI will become embedded in our lives more and more, improving our quality of life. It will be an incredible journey! Let’s travel the road together, friends!

“Garden of the Whispering Moon”

“For Purple Mountain Majesty”

“I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

The 80s were special! We were free-range kids. We played outside until the street lights came on. Everyone’s front door was open. And yeah, we learned lessons by getting hurt! (That’s me in “The Vineyard” half shirt!)

“Arjuna at Kurukshetra”

Face the rain.

Make time to get outside with your family.

Stress will kill you. Take steps to reduce it! - laugh - unplug - breathe - exercise - meditate - get/give hugs - pet your animals What do you do to lower your stress? Add your favorite activities in the comments!

What demon are you slaying today?

Resilience is not just for times of struggle. Comfort presents as much risk to your success. Rest too much and you risk your growth! Take a moment to enjoy the moment. Then, keep going!

Don’t let your kids be your alarm clock. Instead, wake up early and practice self-care! - journal - meditate - exercise You’ll have a sharper mind and body. And you’ll be a better parent and partner!

Want a Sunday morning activity that will: - Boost creativity - Ignite dormant neurons - Grow bonds with your kids Try art! This is my morning piece. It’s “The Crèche of Doom” (charcoal on paper)

Conquering fear will ultimately allow you to build your dream life.

It was a sharp pain in my shoulder. My wife told me not to push it. My body told me to lay off. But I did it anyway - 45 minutes of total body strength training. Ain’t no audience. No accolades. It’s between you and you.

Human connection is why we’re all here. Carve out time to connect with a loved one!

Stop thinking you need “me time” late at night. Start prioritizing sleep. Rest and recover.

I got back on the bike today, for a virtual ride up Grand Escalante in Utah. January is a month of healing and incubation. The road goes ever on and on. Live each day with excellence!

“New Year’s Afterglow”

“The Dumbbell War”

Beyond the mountain you’re climbing lies an infinite number of additional summits.
