Socrates said (via Plato, in Apology), “the unexamined life is not worth living.” I agree.

I will turn 50 in a few weeks, which has prompted much introspection about where I’ve been and where I am going in life. Overall, I am appreciative of the path I’ve created. I’m deeply grateful for everything that has worked out and all that didn’t. Interestingly, those things that didn’t work out were often my greatest teachers.
