I have always wondered about golf widowhood. Why should men prefer golf over their wives? The answer is simple. Men like to have control.

I have observed that genes trump environment. We raised our two children
similarly. However our daughter is a lot like me. Our son is a lot like his mother. If environment mattered more our children should have a blended personality somewhere between the mom and the dad. They don’t. Therefore genes trump environment.

Sometimes, there is no obvious answer. After the Cape Buffalo run, about a week later at dawn, a Tanzanian guide came running to my tent. He motioned to me “come quickly.” I ran after him to the main lodge. In back of the building was a long porch. Behind the porch was a stretch of mowed lawn. At the edge of the lawn was a sign “Danger Wild Animals.” Beyond the lawn was high grass. It was safe to walk on the lawn but not the high grass.

While in Tanzania, I disregarded the obvious. I was with a tour group. The group got up at dawn. They did not run. I was determined not to inconvenience them. In consequence I ran 45 minutes before dawn. The trail was in the jungle. As I started out there was fresh scat (feces). The scat was dumped by African Cape Buffalo.

I founded Alpha in order to bring you state of the art treatment. I have observed that many people of us are stuck. Too often we worry about what has gone wrong in the past as well as what can go awry in the future. Unfortunately the past is history. The future is not knowable.
