Two Types of Pain

"There are two types of pain you will go through in life, the pain of discipline and the pain of regret. Discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tonnes.” -- Jim Rohn

Blog Purpose

As of 2008, I was a tenured associate professor of computer science at a well-respected university in the US, I was a husband to my wife of 13 years, and I was the father of three intelligent, spirited children.

Looking back, the high-point was an academic year-long sabbatical with my family living (and working) in London, UK.

In 2009, upon return home to the US, I was told I had cancer. Even if successfully put into remission, life would never be the same. It never is. I made it through chemotherapy and a tandem autologous stem cell transplant. I was, in essence, REBOOTED. Twice.

Rebooting changes one's perspective. I want to share what I have seen, what I have experienced, and what I have learned.

I will respond to selected emails send to mikekirby2009 [at] gmail.com
