Show Notes Today I’d like to talk about a major theme in my life with my friend, Terry Hershey. In the early days of Covid, when masking was new and mandates were just beginning, it was Terry who told me, “Charles,” he said, “I’ve heard it said that… “Hell hath no fury like an inconvenienced American.”” Yikes. It is a hilarious comment because it is hilariously true! And it is all about our inability to be patient with people and with our lives. So rather than explain it now, I’d like to get rig...

Plotting his path ...
