Wisdom, not Wizardry. That will be the attempt. Any Wizardry will be the Halloween costume kind. Any Wisdom will be wise only by my definition and understanding. As I raised a family and worked a job, I learned a lot, but how could I pass along the knowledge? When I am with family, I have better things to do than give seminars and besides, they wouldn't be interested anyway. At work I had a few opportunities to help with continuing education or mentoring, but it was usually technically oriented.
Sometimes I have good insights, but usually more questions than answers. The attempt is to find a reasonable position between the extremes of opinion. The ultimate goal is to define the Good Life and figure out how to live it. To that end, we moved to Hawaii some years ago. We were making good money in Southern California, but not saving a cent. I figured it this way: "I would rather be poor in Hawaii than going no place in Southern California." Thus we are poorer and happier.
This is my first attempt at a weB LOG, so if you comment and I screw up the response, I apologize in advance.
Since I have had the kitchen torn up for 4 years and company is coming for Thanksgiving, I must go to work. (Sorry for the 4 letter word.)
