You are my horn of plenty.
Here, a beginning of a list, incomplete to be sure, of things big and little, that I’ve learned from all of you.
Some are just expressions that I’ve co-opted. Others are lessons that struck me as foundational.
They’ve provoked my thinking. Changed my behavior. Even inspired blog posts.
All of them have influenced.
