I finally opened my online store! It's full of fun artwork that celebrates the #IslandLife with a slight nod to #JimmyBuffett. It's not perfect, but it's time to let go & share.

It takes just as little time to see the positive side of life as it does the negative side. - (Jimmy Buffett)

Choosing your perspective is a matter of seconds, but its impact can last a lifetime. No matter how you choose to see life, it takes the same amount of time. Why not opt for positivity?

A tasty little morsel of #JimmyBuffett & #MarinCounty history.

It was during a Labor Day weekend in 1973 — 50 years ago to the day of his death — that Buffett wrote his first hit song, “Come Monday", written at the Howard Johnson’s on Shoreline Highway (now the Holiday Inn Express) in Mill Valley. Buffett was booked for a three-day Labor Day weekend series of shows at the Lion’s Share nightclub in San Anselmo (opening for Country Joe McDonald).

All these sophisticats claiming they respect-but-don't-enjoy the music of #JimmyBuffett clearly don't know he got Harrison Ford to play whip-cracks on track 6 of his 1985 album Last Mango in Paris.

Little memorial in the #Margaritaville restaurant at Universal Orlando CityWalk, for the legendary #JimmyBuffett. Thank you for the great music. RIP.

Older and wiser voices can help you find the right path, if you are only willing to listen. - (Jimmy Buffett)

Listening to experienced voices isn't a sign of weakness; it's the hallmark of outstanding leadership. Who are the older, wiser people that you are listening to today?

I wrote some words about Jimmy Buffett.

This is precisely how and why I retain the most random music knowledge #thanksDad #music #jimmybuffett #themoreyouknow

Now that #jimmybuffett has passed, I can't wait for the rise of Jimmy Buffett impersonators with names like Jimmy Buff, Jay Buffett, Jimbo the Buff, and Bimmy Juffett to start showing up at cheap bars the nation over.

Searching is half the fun: life is much more manageable when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party. - (Jimmy Buffett)

Life's treasures aren't just handed to us; they're scattered, waiting to be found. As leaders, the joy is in the hunt, the pursuit, and the discovery. Let's relish the scavenger hunt today. Let's keep searching...

Jimmy Buffett Can Kiss My Ass
A positive tribute. Really. I was a fleeting fan, but Jimmy stayed lodged in my psyche

I'm usually more boring and objective than this, but part of me thinks the veritable invasion of #American #Flamingos in the #US this week is them paying respects to #JimmyBuffett.

Per his website, it turns out #JimmyBuffett died from Merkel-cell skin cancer. It's rare, aggressive, and most often caused by excessive exposure to UV radiation, typically from sunlight, less often from tanning beds. A college classmate of mine, an outstanding tennis player during and long after her college career, died of it a couple of years ago.

Jimmy Buffett sang
Till the very last breath of life
Gone but not forgotten

Mourning
No dark attire, no tears, no grief
Just toasts of joy for Jimmy's life
Margaritas and memories still alive
Cheers!
