“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Lately, I’ve made it my mission to try to reconcile these two statements. Easier said than done. As I wrap up my second full year of retirement, I’ve been fortunate enough to have the time and motivation to experiment with all sorts of new activities. I’m a naturally curious person, and I’m also game to try almost anything. To be clear, it doesn’t mean I'm brilliant, or even competent at everything I attempt. But I'll surely never know unless I dive right in.
