I cannot recall a time when I failed to act but should have. More often, I took action and later wished I had not. For example, I made several financial decisions, such as purchasing a larger house and taking on a bigger mortgage, because my career was progressing and it seemed appropriate. In hindsight, I wish I had exercised greater financial discipline instead of being influenced by the pressure to keep up with others. While I recognize this is a common experience and that I sometimes acted emotionally rather than rationally, I have generally been decisive and accepted the outcomes of my decisions, whether positive or negative.

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.
