| Introduction | Congratulations to us! Retired 15 years today. We've been to Great Places! At home and away. We have brains in our heads. We have feet in our shoes. We can steer ourselves Any place that we choose. We are not on our own. We have family and friends. And we'll travel together to the Earth's ends. Adapted from Dr. Suess |
| Interests | "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered “Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.” |
