    Believing Things That May Not Be True

    In poker, you make money whenever your opponent plays differently than he would if he knew what cards you have. When you do the same, you lose money. In other words, whenever you act in a way that you wouldn’t if you knew the truth, you’re making a mistake. The same could be said for…

    La Revedere, 2013

    I’m always amazed at just how much happens in a year. At the end of each year, grateful for a gimme topic to write about, I sit down to write this post. And each time my first thought is, “Yeah, but not that much happened this year.” Then I go through my archive for the…

  • Falling

    Being high up in the air isn’t a problem until the wind starts blowing. Then the dance begins — your mind rebels, and you have to do everything you can to not get sucked down into it. The veteran climbers at The Gunks in Upstate New York have adjusted, but it’s my first climb outdoors.…
