Failure is good.  Don’t be correct. Decide simply. In recent years, I have been obsessed with learning. I am geeked how we can begin a new skill, be horrible at it, fail, retry, and eventually, compounding this over time, master the skill. The book, So Good They Can’t Ignore You, by Cal Newport, is aboutContinue reading “3 Steps to a Fulfilling Life”

I said goodbye to Chester the Cat last week. He was murdered. I suspect by a coyote. I found him, in pieces, in our neighbors yard. I can’t think of any way Chester could have been a better cat. Even how he left this world, he was thinking of me. Here are a couple thoughtsContinue reading “Goodbye Chester”

It’s interesting how memories are recorded. How our minds choose what to retain and what to throw away. It seems like, minds pick trauma as something to record. I have memories.
