The Road to 40: Week 2
Just two weeks in, and this journey is already proving to be a challenge. If you’ve read my earlier updates, you know what I’m trying to accomplish—on top of managing a full-time job. This week, work definitely took priority. In hindsight, I should have anticipated how demanding this week would be and planned accordingly. I’m a Project Manager, and a major project I’ve been working on for the past four months officially launched on Tuesday. That meant early mornings—logging o

The Road to 40: Week 1 Update
I’ve officially kicked off The Road to 40 challenge. As the week began, I quickly realized I didn’t have a clear plan in place to achieve this goal. I spent some time trying to outline specific weekly objectives, but nothing really came together. Since I spend a lot of time using AI at work, I decided to see what it could offer for a personal goal—specifically, improving my golf game. Enter Microsoft Copilot. My first question was, “What’s the best way to lower my handic

The Road to 40: Chasing a 4.0 handicap
This isn’t going to be a long post, but I had an idea I wanted to put into words before I had a chance to overthink it. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m turning 40 this year, and with that milestone approaching, I decided to challenge myself in a meaningful way. Over the next six months, my goal is to lower my handicap from its current 8.9 to a 4.0 by August 6. It’s an ambitious target, and I’m fully aware that it won’t be easy—especially while balancing a full-time job and ev

Heading Into 40 Stronger Than Ever
Hi all - It’s been quite a year. I’ve shared some of the tougher moments here before, but there’s something I’ve been fairly quiet about that I wanted to take a moment to share. Over the past year, I’ve been focused on getting back into shape. I was never in poor health, but earlier in life I played multiple sports and staying fit came naturally. That changed in September 2012, when I had foot surgery to replace the ligament in the arch of my left foot. After that, things

I'm back
It’s been a while since I’ve posted an update — life has a way of taking over sometimes. Last March, I was laid off from a job I truly loved. Fortunately, I was able to stay on temporarily to train my replacement, which gave me some time to figure out my next step. I eventually landed in a new role that I’m beginning to enjoy even more than the last one. Funny how things have a way of working out. Work wasn’t the only challenge last year. I lost my grandmother at the end of A
