Lombard Lessons

Life takes unexpected twists and turns. Sometimes, you feel completely out of control. That is because you are not in complete control.

You only control part of your reality at any given time: your responses.

I had barely arrived in California, driving through San Francisco, when I suddenly found myself at the top of Lombard.

Great experience - except for the clutch on the floor and the klutz operating it.

Despite the beauty and the wonder of it all, I had to fight off the fear of losing control.

I was successful at that. I survived and gained a wonderful memory.
