I’m a retired IT pro who worked at a state university for nearly 40 years. I retired early with plans to launch a new career. So far, that hasn’t happened but I’m enjoying my life more than ever and am looking forward to the rest of my life with a renewed sense of purpose and wonder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHYSICAL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Peloton bike<\/a><\/strong>. I work out up to 90 minutes a day five times a week and it has kept me healthy and sane through all the madness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My MacBook Air (M1)<\/a><\/strong>. I’ve been an IT pro for over 35 years and hands down, it’s the best computer I’ve ever owned. It’s fast, quiet (no fan!), has a stunning hi-res screen, and the battery lasts and lasts.

My old cat<\/a><\/strong>. Simone is 16 years old and is going strong. She constantly reminds me that a steady dose of love, frequent play, and lots of sleep is the best recipe for a long, happy life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

DIGITAL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouTube<\/a><\/strong>. A constant, ever-evolving resource for learning and entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Really Bad Chess<\/a><\/strong>. I used to be good at chess but found it became boring and very difficult to improve without hours of practice and study. Really Bad Chess offers a crazy, scrambled, updside-down world of chess play and it’s perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INVISIBLE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Mom. She passed away in 2018 but she continues to inspire me to be the best person possible. She faces tremendous life setbacks with good humor and grit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
