In the just passed (observed) decade I:
- Had a second kid.
- Found out both kids are on the Autism Spectrum.
- Went into massive medical debt getting them therapy.
- Had five jobs - plus a wee bit of freelancing.
- Got fired for the first time.
- Started a ridiculous quest - to see a home game at every FBS football school.
- Tried and failed to build my own company at least three times (maybe more if we count landing pages).
- Had the two most rewarding jobs of my career (in two very different ways).
- Lost contact with a lot of friends and family.
- Grew to love Indianapolis and become frustrated with Indiana.
- Quit smoking after doing so pretty regularly since college.
As I look forward to the next (observed) decade:
- I’ll get to see those kids graduate high school and start college (or get darn close). OMFG.
- I’ll try to teach those kids to drive.
- I intend to make a lot more progress on my quest.
- Sometime in there, that debt load should clear - at least I surely hope so.
- As my kids get older, it should get easier to keep up with folks.
- Do what I can to improve Indy - even if it’s just picking up litter.
- Cook a lot more.
- Travel a lot more.
- Double down on the good stuff, the stuff I like, and try to minimize the stuff I don’t.
- Screw up just as much stuff - if not more - than I did the last ten years.
