ABOUT ME

I'm a middle-aged, average-looking, normal guy who almost does a lot of things well, but nothing really exceptionally well. I'm an OK dad -one of the proudest badges bestowed upon me, yet I know I could be such a better dad.  I'm an alright husband -the other proud badge that defines me, yet I'm horrible at expressing how much I truly and unequivocally love my wife.  I'm an average brother, uncle, son, friend, co-worker and neighbor.  I live an uneventful life in an average suburb. I have a dog and a car with 100,000 miles on it.  I can water my lawn from my phone and have an app that tells me how well I slept the night before.

This is totally unacceptable.  The uneventful'ness, the OK'ish and the average'ness of my life is totally unacceptable.

So, I've decided to do something.

I've given myself 365 days to become a Samurai.  What exactly does this mean?  I'm not really sure.  Does it mean I'll be wearing black ninja shoes and lurking around the camoflage of midnight?  Maybe.  Does it mean I'll strive towards learning and adopting the "Bushido" of a Samurai and the seven virtues they live/lived by daily? Absolutely.
