A lot of helpful stuff here. Thanks for the kick in the pants!

Great idea. One of the things I'm going to do is apply to be a Big Brother (not sure if it's global— but it's a mentorship non-profit here in Canada).

Cool— reading through it now, thanks!

Hah, I'm lucky to be in this position but I'd rather not disclose any identifying information :)

Huh. Joining the board of a non-profit is a good idea. I always assumed I'd have to be asked to do that...

You're right, it's personal— guess I was just hoping someone recognized themselves in what I was describing.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I really like how you put it: "get out there and make your life more complex in a good way."

(My wife and I are trying for kids right now and sometimes I wonder if that's the "complex in a good way" thing that I'm anticipating...)
