Happy New Year, dear readers! I'm not gonna lie; we all thought 2020 was bad and 2021 would be better, but at this point, it honestly feels like we've just been through one huge, horrible, double-length year of anguish and uncertainty. After all that, the holidays and typical year end frivolity just didn't feal right, …

The Great Resignation
Everyone else is writing on this topic, so why not me too? What do people want to work for? Based on our pre-Covid economic model, it would seem people worked out of necessity, for their survival, to keep a roof over their heads and food on their tables. It was barely working. Many people do …
Airports
I have recently discovered that many autistic people have a fondness for trains. I think trains are cool enough, but I have always been more partial to airports and planes. I love air travel over nearly all other modes of conveyance and, as disappointing as it is that the environmental impact of flying is so …
The Biggest Leap
OK, I've written before about this being an aspiration and I feel the time has come... As of this weekend, I'm "coming out" again by attaching this blog, warts and all, to my LinkedIn profile. Do I expect this action to make an enormous splash? Of course not. I have some occasional interactions through that …

Oh, You Thought I was Here for a JOB?
I listened to a podcast the other day where I heard about how people think of the work they do in one of three categories: a job, a career or a calling. Just to give proper attribution (and because I actually REMEMBER where I heard it), this was on an episode of Kelly Corrigan's amazing …
Who Gets to Write the Rules?
I am trying to start some things... partnerships, projects, etc. And I've always been a stickler for the rules. I want to know how things are going to go, what are each person's roles, who is accountable for what and who holds them accountable? I don't think ANYONE out there thinks as much as I …
Balls in the Air
I wanted to make sure I got something published, just to make sure you all didn't think I had dropped off the earth or anything. The truth is, there are a ton of things "in the works" right now and I'm not really at liberty to reveal any of them yet. I have been busy, …
Accomplishments
I have mentioned in the past that I have never really understood or related to my own emotions. As long as I can remember, I felt like I would observe people giving an emotional response to some event in their lives and try to figure out how I would feel if I had experienced the …
Plans for the Future
Since I have been struggling a bit to find the right intersection of time and inspiration lately, I figured I'd write a post with a few highlights of what I plan to do with this space in the future. Of course there is no timeline for these plans or anything resembling a "goal" to ensure …
