I don’t really suffer from FOGO. I think I benefit from LORIGO (Lack of Realizing I’m Getting Old.) …or suffer from it, as some people close to me might describe my affliction. Lol

At 57, I:

- work 14 hours a day regularly

- still find time to play Genshin Impact on my phone at 4AM each morning

- exercise like a 30-yr old with good intentions but less-than-perfect consistency

- eat like a 30-yr old foodie, savoring every opportunity for a really great meal

- have Spotify playlists from 70’s to today. Love Post Malone and Dua Lipa (“…and even if I wanted to, I can’t stop…”

- brought myself from zero knowledge to “proficient” with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop & InDesign in a month’s time so I could pull off the most important tasks my lead designer in Pakistan can, if she’s asleep or otherwise engaged.

- consider every day a learning opportunity…tech wise, spiritually, politically, financially, business wise, and about the people who are most important to me.

- Speaking of those people: Most importantly, cherish every second with my wife as well as my three grown girls, 2 of whom are under my roof (although one heads back to NYU for senior year in 2 weeks.) I’m sure some or maybe most of my LORIGO has been a way to stay connected with them.

Ignorance truly is bliss. I’m sure some of this stuff above will drive me to an early grave…because I will be like this until the day I die. But, my parents both died when they were 52…I was 17…so every day above ground is a gift, and I fully intend to live it with joy and zeal.

Hey Bill, thanks for the daily newsletter. It's great!!

Missed the dad joke submission request, but thought I'd share anyway. Why do ducks have tail feathers? To cover their butt quacks!

Thanks for all you do and hope you have a great day.
