Well, this would have been more applicable a year ago when my life was much different, and I was still working. Back then, there were a few things to unwind with, sometimes at night, such as sitting quietly alone to watch the news. Sometimes it was sitting outside on the deck if the weather was nice. Today life is much quieter, but there are still moments when quiet time is great, and I now sit with a coffee at a local coffee shop, people-watching. This is still a common activity for me; people-watching is something I’ve stuck with as my most consistent way to unwind. This is something I always did, even when working, but now, living in a city with a lot of outdoor activity, I can do it on a street corner, whereas in the past I did it in a mall.

I spent 40 years in FinTech before retiring to Rio de Janeiro to trade software releases for a front-row seat to the beautiful absurdity of life in Brazil. This blog is my digital porch, a place for unpolished commentary on book reviews, daily gripes, and the random thoughts of a guy who finally has the time to pay attention. I’m an observant realist with a deep appreciation for history, a good quote, and the perspective that only comes after the career ends. I write to stay sharp, to stay honest, and to keep the conversation going. I love my Patriots and Bruins, a life long fan in bad times and good. They have been quite good for a long time now! I love spending time with my wife the best times are just doing nothing; watching tv, talking or just sitting at the beach together for a few hours. Our spot is pier 60 in Clearwater. I love the time I have with my kids when I can, they are all pretty busy. Seinfeld is about the best comedy ever. You will see me frequently comment on the show and why my blog is about nothing.
