Imagine you have finally worked long enough in your chosen profession to retire. All of the things you have wanted to do during those years of hard work can finally happen. Travel, explore the world, pick up new hobbies and revisit old ones. You have all the time you could ever want to accomplish whatever you put your mind too. My chosen goal, go back and finish school.
Why on earth would I want to subject myself to such a monumental task? Fame and fortune or the challenge of expanding ones knowledge, or maybe the sense of accomplishment. No, to be totally honest, being retired is boring! You can't sleep in, after so many years of getting up at O-dark-thirty, you just wake up. You can't stay up late because your body clock is too firmly set in the past. One day tends to blur into the next and before you know it you’re asking someone what day it is.
So adventure awaits, for me that is what this is all about. I’ve watched my daughter go through the trials of college and I'm jealous. Yes, she has had tough courses and difficult timelines to complete. She has had to give up personal time and pull her hair out over complex problems. But I have watched her push herself and succeed, so I know it can be done.
This blog will more than likely be the ramblings of whatever strikes my fancy at the time, or whatever is assigned. Who knows where this will lead and that my friends is the adventure.
