A Happy Retirement
Yesterday my friend Beto sent me this inspiring e-mail message: As we get older we sometimes begin to doubt our ability to "make a difference" in the world. It is at these times that our hopes are boosted by the remarkable achievements of other "seniors" who have found the courage to take on challenges that would make many of us wither. Harold Sclumberg is such a person.
"I've often been asked, 'What do you older folks do now that you're retired'? Well... I'm fortunate to have a chemical engineering background, and one of the things I enjoy most is turning beer, wine, Scotch, and margaritas into urine.
"And I'm pretty damn good at it, too!!"
