I like the sort of work clients pay me to do. It's intellectually

I'd go crazy trying to fill up my days and weeks with golf, model
airplanes, stamp collecting, et cetera. I'm sure many of you find
intellectual and psychic rewards in such pursuits, but I don't.

I really enjoy what I do for a living. I guess you didn't.


I enjoyed doing what I did, they just stopped doing it.

Now I teach myself jobs other people do and work for myself.

If you can't keep yourself amused without going to work, I guess you
should keep working until you die.


I don't do the work I do for amusement. I do it for the reasons stated
in my first paragraph, above.

I have a couple of hobbies, and other leisure activities, but that's
what they are...leisure time activities, not my life.

My wife, who is much busier with work than I am or want to be,
occasionally takes a couple of days off between vacations, but after a
couple of days, even with her hobbies, she is ready to go back to work
helping people. Her dad, who recently turned 80, still works a couple of
days a week as a consultant in his field, and he has a few leisure time
hobbies, too. I have few old friends in the labor movement, well into
their 80's, who are still actively working on union-related issues here
and abroad.


You are the perfect man, FOAD.
