Just Show Up

Back in high school, my old friend Greg Brister had a Carpe Diem mantra that resonates to this day: "Try Something New", he often admonished. Back then, that phrase led to climing fire escapes, riding boxcars, and other exploits my lawyer has told me I'm not allowed to mention until 2025 when a certain confidentiality agreement expires.

My new motto is "just show up". Good things tend to happen when you extend yourself, even just a little bit, in the direction of your interests.
