reflections on 2013

two thousand and thirteen.  and thirty years for me.  lots of life begins to solidify around 30.  here's a quick re-cap.

January

• Left brilliant colleagues and brilliant work behind at Facing History and Ourselves

• Was forced to retire the 300lb. giant fire pit

February

• Boston Snowpocalypse

• Traveled to Puerto Rico for the first time -  an easy peezy 3 hour-ish flight from Boston and a grand vacation

You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
Franz Kafka 



you will know you have learned when you know you can never learn
