Although I joined this thread a bit late it has made me see my life in a different context. My entire life has been spent in two pursuits. I've been an athlete from Little League through college football and baseball. And, vocationally I have spent my life trying to make things better for people who are at a disadvantage. Specifically, writing CT's first Affirmative Action Plan for state employees and investigating allegations of abuse of people with developmental disabilities. Reaching for something better makes me better, whether it's my once a week 15 mi. TT on the bicycle or trying to improve life for someone who needs help.
