So a few weeks ago I had the opportunity to fly out East to spend a few days with my son. 4 separate plane rides, a lot of time to think and read, plenty of people-watching to fill the gaps.

But…Why?
Why? Yeah, but why?? Why not??? I am a lifelong 'why?' asker. Just ask any of my siblings and people who had to oversee me in some way.

What makes you (not) tick?
If you need a reference point for this post, read the one prior. Where I asked: What makes you tick?
