Introduction

This blog is my ongoing, infrequently-updated collection of notes and advice that I am collecting over the years to give to my children. It is public right now; I may or may not make it private in the future. In it will be many of the things I have learned throughout my life and wish I knew when I was a teenager - the aim is to give the URL (or possibly a printed-and-bound copy if I'm feeling nostalgic) to each of my children when they turn 16 so they can read and absorb it at their leisure rather than suffer some sort of meandering lecture on adulthood from me. They won't agree with everything I say, but that's OK.

If you're my kid and reading this, happy birthday!
