| Thanksgiving 2010 in San Mateo California |
An area of substantial interest for me has been Aristotle. He was a very smart guy. At the beginning of the semester I was stressed about the amount of work on had ahead of me. Go figure. I postured in such a way that I could research a topic (Aristotle's conception of happiness) and use the research in two separate classes. Well it worked. Below is a paper I wrote about Aristotle's ethics and how it applies to my personal life. Surely not a sailing topic, but Aristotle had a great impact on how I viewed cruising on a sailboat. Life will be joyless without friends and/or family regardless of any other circumstance. Maybe this is why I'm more content not sailing and why I enjoyed Thanksgiving so much. Read onward please!

Chris,
Thanks for sharing. Very well written. I believe many will find it useful in redirecting their own journeys. It really hit home for me as I too tried to retire in paradise without having the right goals in mind. I have since gotten back on the right path, and I am happy to see that you have as well.

Allen,
Thank you for your thoughtful comments. I really appreciate it! Next time I decide to sail I'll have a much better handle on chances of success. However I will never forget the deep axiom that says paradise is full of bugs!

Just read your paper, and am so impressed. You made a difficult subject very interesting and insightful. Keep up the good work, you're making the gene pool proud. See you soon.
Love,
Mom
