The Case of the Missing Backpack

Not to be outdone in Boltano misadventures, I just received the following text from Jeremy:



So last week, I forgot to put on shoes before heading out to work. And today, Jeremy forgot to bring his work backpack -- which holds his work laptop -- to work. Two important things one needs when heading to work are definitely one's shoes and one's laptop. And yet, Jeremy and I manage to forget both of these items.

I would blame parenthood for these oversights, but it's not like these escapades are new to us. The word "misadventure" has appeared on this very blog 34 times since 2009.

One of my favorite management philosophies is to "train your strengths." I'm really starting to think that misadventuring is our greatest strength, the one special thing in the world that no one can do quite like Jeremy and I can do it. Is misadventuring our "competitive advantage"?

I feel a business plan brewing. Thinking on these things...
