Join me as I interview lifelong and new friends about retirement, work, relationships, hobbies, creative pursuits, culture, aging, health, dreams, travel, and whatever else is on our minds. Expect both wisdom and humor as I sit with those whom I have known since elementary school, those whom I have worked with, and those whom I have just met.

    Episode 6: Joan S. Take 2
    May 25 2023

    Enjoy this conversation with my friend and colleague Joan.  Listen as we talk about Joan's shift from meteorology to mathematics, the importance of mentors, entering a new era of life as a grandmother, recasting one's identity after a long career, and timing just right retirement, downsizing, and moving.  Intertwined throughout our conversation, you will also hear quite the love story of Joan and her husband who met when they were seventeen, a ready-for-the=screen romance in my opinion. And one more thing: A  big thank you to Joan for agreeing to take 2 after we experienced some technical issues on our first go around. Love you Joan.

    Episode 5: Joan
    Apr 4 2023

    After Joan and I reminisce about junior high, Joan speaks about  moving from our hometown of York PA to Indiana in the fall of ninth grade, some health issues, and a family story with which she has come to terms. Turns out, her family history is more exotic than what she realized when she was in junior high.  She also mentions a "yearbook" that one of our classmates purchased for her  in ninth grade to give to her on a trip she made back to York the summer after ninth grade. This classmate had Joan's friends, including me, "sign" the yearbook. What a wonderful conversation. Thanks Joan.
