Kris -- "Writing, especially the feedback, confirmed my sense that I’m not a journalist or a novelist — I’m a teacher." And this is why I read most of your writings. And why I always recommend your page to people who ask me about options. You not only know what you are talking about, but you do an excellent job of writing in a way that makes people think. Kudos!

Kris - you've been a great inspiration to me and aided my own "unlock" with both your writing and life choices.

Another observation: one thing I'm sure many of us readers appreciate about you is how "free" you write. Not like you're always giving the world the middle finger, but more so are willing to us how you really feel.

...which (I'd bet) would have NEVER been possible whilst in a traditional job. Even CEOs aren't this "free." And even if you were never fired, you'd probably feel a slight pull to hold back.

I've always valued this type of "intellectual independence," and hope to foster it better in myself. So at least this guy is grateful you took that plunge 4 years ago. Cheers.
