Leonard J. Shenk ⁽¹⁾

A lifelong generalist with a well-worn curiosity and a tendency to make a fine mess of his free time. This space is a place to notice things, remember people, and poke gently at the everyday moments that quietly shape us.

These posts wander through memory, aging, family, and the peculiar art of learning things the hard way. There is less interest here in being right than in being honest, and a far greater interest in understanding a story than explaining it away.

Most of life is learned by showing up, paying attention, and admitting when you have no idea what you are doing. These confessions aren't about settling scores or oversharing for the sake of it. They are simply stories told with humor, warmth, and a nod to the fact that none of us are quite as "put together" as we pretend to be.
