This is a living archive of my thoughts, experiences, and hard-earned insights, drawn from an unusual life. Here you’ll find reflections on the food I’ve eaten, the things I’ve bought, the people I’ve encountered, the places I’ve seen, the books I’ve read, the quotes I’ve kept, and the trends I’ve spotted and capitalized on.
I write this for you, my children, those already here and those yet to come. Daddy loves you more than words can hold. I want each of you to live lives you’re proud of. This is my thinking, in my own voice, left here for you to explore. I hope one day it proves useful.
If, by some unlikely chance, I’m gone before I can guide you in person, let this stand as a poor substitute. But in the more likely case that I’m still here, let this serve as an intellectual archive, a record that I held these convictions long before you were born. May that give weight to my words, and credibility to the wisdom I hope to pass on to you.

It’s true of personal improvement books too. Some might even say it’s true of religion books. But some others might say that those…

Using violence/and or coercion to advance social change usually backfires. It is like trying to fast grow a rose by yanking on it. Rather than letting the patience of sun and water do the job for you. The true progress of mankind is multi-generational and involves the gentle and peaceful parenting of children. “We scarcely…
Flowers are really cheap. Do you know what’s really expensive? Divorce. If you’re going to eat shit. Don’t nibble I appreciate the difficulties and more than that, I thank you deeply for the effort.
