Passion and Adrenaline

Heard a young man discuss his first drug: adrenaline. It then dawned on me that it was mine as well. I was addicted to sports at a young age. My first hero was Sandy Koufax, the Hall of Fame pitcher with the Los Angeles Dodgers and one of the great players of all time. I was often transfixed by Vin Scully's voice each summer as Koufax and his fellow Blue Crew members a series of pennant drives in the mid 60s. I gained much of my self worth through a symbiotic connection with victories of local professional and college sports teams and was lucky to witness (both in person or via radio/TV) some of the top organizations in history compete in playoffs and/or championship games: Dodgers, Lakers, LA Rams and UCLA Bruins (in those days, both the basketball and football teams were stellar).

Funny how I feel like a little kid recently. Adrenaline is still addictive but something more substantial has replaced it: passion. Look forward to waking daily and exploring things which I truly love: music, technology, politics, pr/marketing and reconnecting with old friends. Really appreciate the time and flexibility to stretch myself beyond just the workaday world which had completely consumed me. Beginning to breathe and see myriad possibilities and that gives me hope...
