In all the writing I've done since college -- 32 years and counting -- the amount that I've written of substance on a personal level can be defined in holiday letters and a few letters to the editor. I've also written some serious emails, usually to people who never get around to writing a response.
Whether I'll deal with some different issues on a regular basis with a non-professional area that's nothing but my own opinions and offerings remains to be seen. Right now, I need to prepare for an early morning drive to San Diego for another trade show, and this is not the time for long introspection.
Yes, this is a tedious and miserable start. As I noted, it's the usual beginning.
