The first one is the best. I'll have to remember to tell people not to do that. ;)

23 & 25 remind me of a statement by Adam Carolla: "If you cheat, you're a cheater." In response to "I'm not really a cheater, but..." The more you think about it the more affecting it is.

Oof! I also turned 31 in December! I keep a running list of these on my phone—maybe I should publish mine. Funny how a different set of 31 years can be so different. 😳

I probably already read this but it’s definitely worth reviewing now and then. Number 25 was interesting and unexpected. Choosing my vocation (and adding side hustles) really did change me, along with a multitude of other choices. In retrospect I can see it now. Some of my choices were great, some not so much lol….

Congrats on 31! You have a good list going. I would tell you a couple of mine, but will respect your adage about unsolicited advice.

I hear you are are a member of the faculty of the University of Austin. Will you teach in-person? If so, how about a meet-up in Austin?

I'll be teaching a summer course in-person. Currently planning an Austin meetup. Once I iron out the details I'll make an announcement.

I am going to have to agree. *Especially* the nail clippers.
