A BEGINNING

On Sunday, August 4, 2024, I had a heart attack. It is easily the most life-changing event of my existence. Since that day, I've had more conversations than I can count about what happened. People have a lot of questions. Some of those conversations have been comfortable, others...not so much.

I haven't been terribly deliberate or calculated in who I've told about it. My immediate family and my closest friends were informed pretty much right away. Colleagues, especially the team that reports to me, heard about it later that week. But, other than those folks, the rest of my audience has been fairly random; people I met at a party, a former colleague I ran into at a grocery store, some of those who attended a Christmas shindig.

What I've come to realize, after much introspection, is that I have a lot to say about what happened. And I also know there are probably some out there who would like to know more. Perhaps what I write can be helpful or comforting to someone?

To that end, this blog will be my opportunity to describe the event, provide updates about my health, and simply share other events in my life.

Read on, enjoy, and feel free to comment wherever you like.
