Navigating This Thing We Call Life

As you are probably aware, life is not a straight road. Navigation of the twists, turns, forks, and dead-ends is a must. For me, the key to navigating life has been doing what makes me happy, whatever that may be, and wherever that may take me. I do like to plan ahead, but life doesn’t always follow our planned course, no matter how detailed those plans might be.

You've traveled so far, the wind in your face
you're thinking you've found the one special place
where all your dreams will walk out in line,
and follow the course you've made in your mind
Well, it isn't gonna be that way
        - from "It Isn't Gonna Be That Way" Steve Forbert, 1978

I will be writing about things of interest to me. I’m also going to dig deep into the way-back machine and bring up stories from my childhood to the current day, and everything in between. Perhaps even some looks into the future. Nothing is sacred, and nothing will be taken for granted. My life’s journey is not over. You are invited to join me for the next chapter as I continue Navigating This Thing We Call Life.

Ron’s Blog

In one of my former lives, I operated investment websites for about 15 years. I never liked the word “blog” because to me it implied something unprofessional or lacking in journalistic standards. I always preferred the word “article” to describe my investment posts. Perhaps I’ve reached an age where I can better appreciate the word, or maybe I’ve just gone soft in my old age. You can call it whatever you want — all of my posts will be here in my blog. If you want to see the posts from just one category, then use the handy “Post Categories” widget available in the sidebar.

Anticipated Pages

Here are a few of the pages I’m considering for this site.

The Great American Race — (coming soon) Have you ever driven coast to coast? Have you ever done it in an antique 1930s era race car? How about half-a dozen times in pursuit of $250,000 in prize money?

Travelogue — (coming soon) Like many of you, I enjoy travel. Here are some of my journeys.

Photography — (coming soon) I’ve taken thousands of photographs, and a few have turned out better than average. I am by no means a professional, but here are some you might enjoy.

Investing — (coming soon) I was an investment advisor for more than 20 years, and wrote an investment newsletter for 25 years.

Not That Ron Rowland — (coming soon) There is more than one person named Ron Rowland in the world. To help avoid confusion, here are many that are not me.

    Interesting you. I also have never liked ‘blog’. It is amateurish and unprofessional. It’s a ‘weblog’, a log of what you write and store on the web. Blog is just bastardisation of weblog. i call it a website., or site, never a blog.
