An Outline for Life

We humans have grand ideas and make elaborate plans. It’s in our nature. But do things always go according to plan when those ideas are put into action? Or are we destined to live by the cynicism embraced by the military: Plans only hold until the first encounter with reality?

That’s the theme we’ll explore on this tour. Come join us!
