Mini-Profile

I’m 73 and still feel 25. I see the world changing faster than I can digest but being a spectator isn’t all that bad. I can’t retire for another 20 years since I have a student loan to pay off for my youngest son. I’m pretty optimistic about life after death but there’s no hurry. I’d hate do do grammar school again. I lived in Mexico for 36 years and now I teach Spanish to people who expect to learn the language in 15 hours. Still it’s fun. I came to this website by accident but I’m a bit fascinated by all the distress I read about. I see people who think they’ve run out of options and get stuck in a rut. I’ve been through a lot of the good and bad so all I can do is offer some insights if anyone is interested. I have no solutions, only a mind given to brainstorming where it might be possible to come up with some options others may have overlooked.
