Half-time!


I am halfway to reaching my KPI of becoming a centenarian, testing Dan Buettner’s Blue Zones theory that people can live healthy, meaningful, and productive lives up to their hundredth birthday.

If there’s anything that the ancient Romans taught us, a great empire can rise from the rubble and back to the rubble it can crumble. But still, in a half century, a team can soar again to win the Euro 2020. Anything is possible. In half a century, humankind has made the big leap from landing on the moon to joyriding in space.

I’ve learned that it is efficient to travel alone though I have also discovered that it is not much of a joyful ride.  Thank you, family and friends for the journey together and I’m hoping we’ll have opportunities to do carpool karaoke in the next two score and a decade (be it in an electric car or an autonomous vehicle).

Cheers.
