★ Plan it or just do it?
A realization today was that some people are most comfortable carefully planning every eventuality before actually doing anything. That’s not me. I lean toward the other end of the scale, usually preferring to try doing the thing and learning from it along the way.
There’s an odor of being too risk averse in the desire to plan every detail, at least to me. Diving in, breaking things, learning how to fix them: that’s an adventure that I savor.
I have been interested in the natural world since a very early age. My first career as a mining and exploration geologist took me around the world. In 1992, I began to focus on the conservation of natural resources. I enjoy sailing, working with WordPress and Linux, and amateur radio. It probably goes without saying that I also like to travel!
