Hello, everybody. Today is my birthday. I’m 43. That’s about six in dog years. (No, wait, it might be 200. Do you multiply or divide?) I woke up this morning and wanted to turn my blog into a fundraising vehicle for Hustle Up the Hancock, but then I remembered that most of you have already…
Hello, everybody. Hope your new year is off to a good start. My first five days of 2018 have been a joke. It’s snowing and extraordinarily chilly in Raleigh, which is uncommon. I’ve had a cold for nine days which has me talking like Jacob Silj, and now I have a stye in my eye…

I always end the year by writing about my accomplishments, failure, regrets and resolutions. I love this time of year because the calendar naturally moves me to reflect and take action. This post is all about 2018 resolutions. Earlier this year, my marriage needed a tune-up. To be fair, all relationships require regular maintenance. Mine…

This post is all about 2017 regrets. Out of all of these articles, this is always the most difficult one to write. I think…
I always end the year by writing about my accomplishments, failure, regrets and resolutions. I love this time of year because the calendar naturally moves me to reflect and take action. This post is all about 2017 failure. My biggest failure was GlitchPath. It was a start-up focused on preventing project failure that failed. I…

This post is all about 2017 accomplishments. As I write this, I’m in my jammies by the fireplace. Already I’m winning. Looking back at…
