This could sound boring and insignificant. We see what we want to see.

Being organized doesn’t mean perfect. Couldn’t find the 2004 Honda van title in our files. Went to SunTrust Bank to check the safety deposit box. No luck.

Ever expect to learn something in class, but the lesson or insight is so powerful, it stays with you for the rest of your life?

Spring Break 1980, I think. Road trip. West Chester, Pennsylvania to Morgantown, North Carolina, for the North Carolina Outward Bound School.

Camping, hiking, climbing, repelling, orienteering, training, experiential learning, laughing, sweating, campfire cooking, no shower for a week at a time.

The (unexpected) big take away?
