Today we launch a semi-regular series honoring those who have mastered the art of practicing playfulness.
Honorees live, eat, and breath playfulness at a level few achieve.
What does it take to make the list? That depends on the person and their command of Creativity, Camaraderie, Community, Health, Well-Being, Spirit, Quality of Life, and Self-Expression.
The 1st ‘Master of Playfulness’ honoree embodies the essence of playfulness more than most. He fits the bill, not just any bill but for many the one and only “BILL.”
David Alm sums it up nicely in his interview with filmmaker Tommy Avallone on the making of the documentary “The Bill Murray Stories’.

He lives entirely in the moment, they say, and it’s never about him.
