Thoughts on finishing well, plus some helpful resources

As I wrap things up in this life, I have read and thought a lot about what it all meant. Much of what I've concluded is not conventional wisdom.

The notes here are for those not satisfied with the usual takes. Perhaps they'll be helpful. At least you'll find pointers to wisdom I've found helpful.

What you'll find here

Primarily scattered thoughts about living, ageing, and dying unusual enough to share, as they come to me. Also a collection of guides on topics of interest to those of us who are making our way out of this life.

Who am I to offer these thoughts?
