Balance and Symmetry

I love to sail because it is a lot like life...
There are things you can control, and things you can't control.
You can control the shape of your sails, you can control your heading...
you can control a lot of things.
You can't control the wind. You can't control the tide...
you can't control a lot of things.

The trick is to achieve balance and symmetry
by understanding what you can't control
and adjusting what you can to stay your course.

Balance.
For that magic time the boat sails itself
and you get where you want to go without fighting, without trouble...
you sit back and eat a sandwich and drink a beer and
enjoy the day!

I love to sail because it is a lot like life...

The big news is that as of May 15, 2008, I'm going to devote myself full time to finishing up boat projects, selling my home and preparing for
a 2009 departure.

 

Trying to get everything done on weekends
was simply taking too long.
Working 60 to 80 hour weeks was really interfering.

I'm scared.
No income, but still having
Silicon Valley living expenses!
I sure wish I could find a way
to make money without working.

This used to be at the top of the page.
I wrote this little bit while my father was passing on,
and revised it endlessly during those nine months. It can stay here for a while.

Wow.

This is the first major change
to the front page of this web site
in six years.

The project pages have been constantly updated, but the main page has been pretty static.

It's time to move on.
