Every day, I walk with my dog - summer, winter (it gets -20 F in Saint Paul), rain or shine. The nicer the day, of course, the longer the walk.

I'm a writer and I also do a lot of professional speaking on risk taking and creativity as well.

I'd love to get ideas on overcoming jet lag.

I'm really good at building things that shoot, hurl, or throw stuff.

There are interesting scientific and historical connections between these things that I just love.

There are a lot of ideas I've had that I originally was quite taken with, but over time, I lost steam. They stay on my list, but between me and you, I'm probably never going to do them.

When I write, I love finding connections between ideas. When the connections are plentiful and strong, then I know it's a pretty good subject to write about.
