Life is always pleasant at 2500 feet. At one-half mile in the air you see things differently than on the ground.

Today’s economic environment is at a crossroads with global supply chain issues, inflation levels not seen in 40 years, falling bond and equity markets, rising interest rates, a war in Europe, and whispers of recession in the air. But with change comes opportunity.

Many times, places are not as we remember. Often the locations don’t change, we do.

We are exceedingly fortunate. In an age of increasing economic mobility, impersonal communication, and social media, my family has stayed close both emotionally and in proximity.
