​Now that I'm 50+ years-old, I've reached a time in my life when it is time think and reflect. This blog is primarily for me to document my thoughts and observations. I joke with my family, students and colleagues that I have a bunch of great ideas but no one ever listens...because I'm just Joe. Well, I now have a forum to present these thoughts. But heck, what do I know...I'm just Joe.
