I just read the article with half a tear in my eye because I already knew the story and it’s sad ending. But it really makes you think about your life choices and how they can affect others.

Rest in peace Ken Fritz.

After the enthusiasm for a million dollar hifi system the deeper, sadder story is  one of obsession, selfishness, alienation and loneliness. A sad tale of a one track, laser focused mind. But you’ve got to tip your hat for one fulfilling his life long dream. An accomplishment not often realized. 

Thanks @hilde45 for the links....and the object lesson of OCD/obsession allowed to become a kudzu that smothers all, including its’ owner.

Most have an obsession of some sort at some level. As pointed out, the successful illustrate that in their varied ways, and sometimes get to share the minus issues it bears when others about them just can’t deal with it anymore.....the current example our X-POTUS, who seems destined to spend the remainder of his life in courtrooms.

Unlike Ken, I don’t feel sorry for him at all....or his family.

Kens’ family? "Woulda’, coulda’, shouda’"...allowed his obsession to dominate their lives as well as his....

Goats like to eat kudzu. If this was realized and put to practice earlier, it might not have become ’the weed that ate the South.’

(An absurdovation to yours unruly to share: Put ’jit’ after Ken, no space....
sound familiar? 12" concrete walls....can’t/won’t share details about his equipment/space....). One can wonder about these things....

I’m a bit ADD/OCD...it has some benefits....and its’ drawbacks.

Fortunately, I have too many things that keep me preoccupied, and enough prodding by those about me to not allow me to get stuck on any one item or task.

I trust I’m not alone...here, there, and most anywhere else...to suffer to the degree of the late Mr.Fritz.....and, if there be an afterlife beyond this realm of reality....

Don’t seek Ken out...he’ll try to commandeer you to help in tuning the cosmos.

RIP, Ken....it may be heaven, but it could also be yet another version of hell.

I don't know about obcession.every other night on being at the hospital in a 6 year surgical residency has served me and my patients well.but it has been at at a price to me and my family.corporate has been a determination of medicine when we have the best technology but it ties our hands and won't let us use it .too many deniels by insurance and too much paperwork not just by physicians but by nurses most dislike it.
