“What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness.

The Risk of Acceptance
Sorry I’m late posting my blog. I started to write last night, and the words weren’t there. Right now I’m packing for a mini-vacation to the ocean at South Padre Island. I’m so excited. Those of you who have followed my blog postings over the last several months know what a difficult and tumultuous time [...]
The results of a flood of risks
In my previous post, I wrote about risking a long road trip with my kids, fearing that one or all of us would end up in tears the entire way. As it turned out our time on the road was fine. We had fun. My son saw a plethora of John Deere tractors and trucks [...]
