Retired software analyst. Enjoy word problems and the number eight. Be kind, be creative, be brave. Ignore the trolls.
That spin has always irked me. At 59 I left full-time job and moved out of state with spouse (63) to assist aging parents. Continued working remotely part-time, without benefits. ONLY possible due to ACA/subsidies. Alternative: Keep working and let them fend for themselves?

Enjoyed your panel today. Realized a few minutes in 💡 this sounds so familiar… then remembered loving your podcast! Picked up a copy of your book - looking forward to it. Hope you’re enjoying your time Up North.

Someone clever: please cook up a "Noble Piece" prize so we can get rid of this asshole once and for all.

Reminds me of messing up a complicated Rummikub strategy, not being able to unwind it, and ruining the game. Difference here being no consequences.

My spouse and I (retired, on either side of 70, with healthy bank account) do rice or pasta iced cauliflower with legumes at least once/weekly. He adds interesting spice combos and raisins or veggies or something. It’s one of our favorite meals :-)

Cuban Missile Crisis. Parents stocking crawl space with water and canned goods. Duck & cover drills in 1st grade.

Great town. It was a toss up between Hamburg & Pagliai’s (where I worked!)
