Very little has happened to me just in the "nick of time."
So why title a blog after such an expression?
The answer is: it's something slightly-to-moderately clever that plays on a common misspelling of my last name. If my family ever formed a band, it would be a moderately clever name for said band, for example. As it is, it is my slightly-to-moderately clever name for a blog.
But why start writing something here at all?
That answer is a little more complex. For many years I've been very reserved about my personal life. Right or wrong, I felt like I didn't want to "burden others" with my issues or troubles, that somehow I would be a better friend (or a better leader) if I presented a public image that everything was fine in my life. For some time that wasn't a challenge: things were fine in my life. Until they weren't.
This blog is part of my efforts to grow, and reach out, and be a better guy. I want to accept more risk, put more out there for friends, colleagues, and even total strangers to see and read. It's also a vehicle to share photos and stories about the adventure that I'm about to embark upon.
If things are programmed correctly, these first few posts will be up before anybody is specifically invited to view this blog (although there are no filters or security features to stop total strangers from visiting this site, either). So I won't go into excruciating detail about my expectations or "rules" or anything else tonight.
As will frequently be the case going forward: More to come ...
