Random Contemplations, Inspirations and Musings About Family and Friends from a Grumpy Old Man

Welcome to my mind!
I’m an older guy who enjoys writing. After 35 years in corporate America, I retired in 2015. Since opening up many hours of free time since retirement, I’ve enjoyed 7 years of discovery. I know that growing old gracefully with purpose requires some commitment on my part. For example, I am committed to my wife, my kids and my grandkids. I’d like to share as many memories as I can with them in the time that I have left. I’m also committed to staying curious. Since retirement, I’ve started a vineyard and a wine making venture. I’ve written two books. These activities require research and an investment in time. The bottom line is that my mind is “turned on” and I have a number of thoughts that I would like to share with an audience. My intent is not necessarily to “sell” you on my point of view. I do think there is value in learning from someone who has already experienced a whole catelog of life experiences over 60+ years. I am also committed to having fun and enjoying a good laugh. So, sit back, tightened your safety belt and welcome to the Back Nine!
