I read the book Blindside by Michael Lewis on the plane ride from Los Angeles to Seattle today.

Hungry
I have had nothing to eat today since this morning. Ravenous doesn’t even begin to describe my appetite. The people walking around me look like tasty lumps of meat. Visions of baby tartare, ab jerky and human filet mignon are starting to appear to me. I am about to turn tribal.

Do Anything
If you could do anything, be anyone and live anywhere with whoever you wished, what would you choose?
Why aren’t you doing it?
People make many excuses to themselves why they aren’t living their dreams:
“I need to pay off my mortgage.”
“I’ll wait till my kids are out of school.”
