    <Title>Closing Thoughts</Title>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content">
          <div><span>A few weeks ago I had a minor health scare: an anomaly during a routine checkup that could have been serious but turned out, after 11 days of waiting to see a specialist, to be nothing much. During the period between those two doctor’s appointments, I tried not to dwell on the darker possibilities.  But of course my mind wandered unbidden, and I found myself both exploring my fears and taking stock of my life.  And then, when almost all of my thoughts struck me as clichés, I pondered how clichés don’t seem trite at all when I’m living them.</span></div>
          <div>
          <br>
          </div>
          <div><span>Here is some of what I mulled over during those 11 days.</span></div>
          <div>
          <br>
          </div>
          <div><span>I thought about the courage and fortitude shown by people I know who have lived, or are living, with pain and medical uncertainty.<span>  </span>Having had just a taste of it, I recognize how much stronger they are than I felt.</span></div>
          <div>
          <br>
          </div>
          <div><span>I thought about how generally happy I am with my life now, and how much I would like to continue enjoying it.<span>  </span>Almost nothing has turned out the way I envisioned it decades ago, and thank heaven for that.<span>  </span>I wish I could have more of my friends and family here with me, thousands of miles from where I grew up, but I’m deeply grateful for those I have here, and for the opportunity to do meaningful work as part of a dynamic, caring campus community.</span></div>
          <div>
          <br>
          </div>
          <div><span>I thought about the story of my life, and how it might read if it ended soon.<span>  </span>The key plot points would be my two giant leaps away from my path-of-least-resistance career trajectories, decisions that have made everything that has followed possible.<span>  </span>And the underlying theme would be how hard it was for me to figure out who I really was, and what I really cared about.<span>  </span>I spent a lot of years struggling to free myself from the web of other people’s (often well-meaning) expectations and the (supposed) givens of everyday life, and to discover my own values and sense of purpose.<span>  </span>My work at self-discovery and self-development is far from complete, but it’s only in the past few years that I’ve really felt good about how far I’ve come.</span></div>
          <div>
          <br>
          </div>
          <div><span>Finally, I thought about moments that really mattered to me: the often-unexpected instances of real, deep connection with the people around me.<span>  </span>My wife Sharon and my close friends have taught me a lot about how to be myself, and not some version of me manufactured unconsciously in response to my circumstances.<span>  </span>But so too have students and colleagues at UMBC, especially in those in-between moments when our formal roles have faded to the background and our common cares and humanity have mattered more.<span> </span></span></div>
          <div>
          <br>
          </div>
          <span><span>I’ll carry these thoughts with me into the new year.  They imply resolutions for 2011 and beyond</span><span>.</span></span><span><br></span><div></div>
