Inventing a career

As I invent my new career at the age of 67, I take heart that I may have another 30 years to put this next collection of works together. Toward that purpose, I have decided to consolidate my writings from my various blogging and discussion forum initiatives - it turns out I have written about education, social and cultural formations with digital technologies, project management and project management design, residential renovations, and bringing rescue dogs home.

I have envied the linear career path, "I worked at such and such for 30 years and now I am retiring." 

However, at the same time, I would not trade my lifetime of adventures and friends for anything in the world.
