A Boomer Re-do

I've had 6 jobs/careers in 40 years..military officer, corporate manager, restaurant owner, hotel food and beverage director, resort general manager, and sales. I'm thankful to have a job in this economy. BUT, at the same time, this is an opportunity to do something with my new found "freedom". All the self-improvement and lifestyle gurus tell you to reinvent yourself every 5 years or so, or to find the true work you love so that you  never have to "work" again.

Now, I get to weigh the above with location, lifestyle, economic reality, family responsibility, and satisfying the new itch to do and be something during the next third of my life.

63 And A New Journey

63 years old and divorced after 25 years. Two years ago, my ex-wife and I sat at a Paris cafe and talked about when and how we could retire and live in Paris several months a year.

Now, more expense, lousy economy, college tuition. There goes the 5 and 10 year plan.

Let the journey begin
