Favorite quote: “Superlative performance is really a confluence of dozens of small skills or activities, each one learned or stumbled upon, which have been carefully drilled into habit and then are fitted together in a synthesized whole. There is nothing extraordinary or superhuman in any one of those actions; only the fact that they are done consistently and correctly, and all together, produce excellence.” — Dan Chambliss

How do you recharge: I go fly fishing or, in a pinch, I take the slow route home from work while listening to Maine Public Radio.
