You gotta work with what you got. Me, for instance? I’ve learned that I’m crap at driving directions. I would actually take wrong turns running shuttle on kayaking trips. Rivers only run in one direction. You’d think I could get myself back to the put-in without sitting at an intersection wondering which way I was supposed to turn. Typically if it seems unthinkable to go any direction but left, I need to turn right. That gets me where I’m going.

Just a reminder to all you fine folk that there’s a Hubris book available for purchase. It’s the proper size and weight to perch next to “Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader” and, if you wish to buy one to give as a gift to appropriate friends and family, I will authorize you to sign my name in it, officially making it an ‘autographed copy’ and therefore worth double points in holiday gift giving.
