That About Sums It Up ...

Over many years, people have advised me to think about my future. Generally these conversations were about thinking about the next job and maximizing earnings. I was constantly contemplating grad school and dream jobs.

Yesterday in a moment of startling candor (startling to me), I typed this to a friend:

"My only dream these days is to eventually secede from civilized society and live a life of quiet solitude with my wife ... my only contact with the outside world: four exceptional children (three boys who respect girls; one girl who respects herself) and the occasional book-length manifesto released to moderate critical acclaim."

Don't get me wrong: I love my current job. What's next? Hopefully something completely different, by the sounds. Does Jodi share this dream? Depends on the definition of solitude, I suspect ...
