I found out yesterday that my former boss Paul Chagnon died on Sunday. We called him "shaggy". He was in CA talking to his wife on his cell phone and he had a heart attack. He was dead when the paramedics got there. He was 42 years old. It was shocking and surprising.
It makes me think and look at how unexpected life can be. We can drive home and die in an car accident. We can lose people in a heartbeat.
I think about where I am at in my life, what I've accomplished, what I haven't accomplished. It's just kind of stunning to consider.
There's so much I haven't done, haven't said. It's just sad. I'm in such an odd place in my own life right now that I could see it all changing in heartbeat.
But this has made really think about what I want. Who I am.
