I was planting my feet in my new metro area, Philadelphia, and one day in 2012 I was listening to what is still good advice to the graduating class of the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. It was perfect timing, chock full of things I needed to hear. As I review it again, I realize how little I heeded it, dismissing it as what a college graduate needs to hear, and how much has happened since then that proved Mr. Gaiman right. I still have quite a way to go.
