alazia– n. the fear that you’re no longer able to change..

I don’t have alazia. I’m always thinking I change, sometimes even when I don’t want to. Certainly my body continues to change as I age, which is very hard to take.

I do get set in ways, but I’m also willing to change and try new things. Not too often, or maybe not often, but I drive different routes, I notice different things and try new restaurants or experiences, I go to new places, I work differently and experiment to see if I can find something that works better, I like better, etc.

I live a DevOps life, experimenting and learning.

And changing
