What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal." – Albert Pike

 My "outside the box" thinking is driven by one main objective in life, which is putting smiles on people's faces. My wife and I decided to go "all in" for an 80's rock tribute show with one simple goal of having fun. It didn't matter to us if anyone else dressed in costume; we were committed to making it a memorable night.

We showed up and were, in fact, the only ones in the entire venue who dressed up. Instead of feeling awkward, we became an unexpected part of the event. We missed most of the concert, not because we were hiding, but because we were busy taking pictures with a long line of strangers, turning their night into a great memory, too. It was a perfect example of how a little ingenuity can turn any moment into an unforgettable, shared experience.
