I enjoy art. Not like a collector or anything, but I do appreciate it. I was one credit away from an art minor in college. Personally, I gravitate to the California Impressionists. They make me think of a time when the country was unspoiled, when you might gaze across a vista and see a herd of elk drinking at a stream. I get lost in those paintings.

Opportunities don’t always arrive the way we imagine they will. Most of us grow up with a tidy picture of how progress is supposed to work: you aim, you plan, you climb. You do this so you can get that. And sometimes, sure, it plays out exactly that way. But just as often? The better things slip in sideways. They show up when you’re doing work that wasn’t part of the grand plan. When you’re helping. Learning. Filling in.
