You Know You're Old When You Get

Life Is Good, And There's No Reason To Think It Won't Be--right Up Until The Moment When Everything Explodes Into A Fireball Of Tiny, Unrecognizable Fragments, Or It All Goes Skidding Sideways, Through The Guardrail, Over The Embankment, And Down The Mountain. This Will Happen (and Probably More Than Once).

I Have A Remarkably Normal Life.

I Think I Benefited From Being Equal Parts Ambitious And Curious. And Of The Two, Curiosity Has Served Me Best.

Control Is Illusory. No Matter What University You Go To, No Matter What Degree You Hold, If Your Goal Is To Becomes Master Of Your Own Destiny, You Have More To Learn.

I Have Now Is Whenever My Kids Say, "can You Look At This?" Or "can I Ask You Something?" Or "can You Come Here For A Minute?" No Matter What I Am Doing, I Say Yes Instead Of Saying, "just A Sec." They Never Abuse The Privilege, And I Never Once Regretted It. What They Took Me Away To Do Was Never Less Important Than What I Was Doing Already.
