Spin You're born, then you die. The time in between is called "#life." Its pattern isn't hard to predict: #life is a series of long gradual changes punctuated by short, exciting changes. For me, the most languid periods cry out for change. They demand it. They tease with opportunities and the scent of risk. They take me aside and say, "change may be past due, but it's not too late." Oh, and on Friday I got fired.
