I don’t have time to blog it all right now, but my trip to LS11 has been much like Leonardo DeCaprio’s adventure to secure passage on the Titanic in the storage hold only to work his way to the captain’s table.  It’s not blind luck.  It is creating the path in front of you as you go, capitalizing on every moment.

On a very personal note to my readers: My Mom is having surgery today in Tampa.  Keep her in your thoughts.
