A Person, Artist, Software Engineer, Geologist.

When I had a regular job (like 40/hr week, software engineering), my job was the over riding factor in my life.  It dictated when I got up, got home and what I did with most of my time.  So when I quit, my life changed quite a bit to say the least. Some people have a single over riding “thing” in their life.  Good for them, I do not.  But what I’ve found out is that I have a bunch of little things in my life that can change over time.  I have or had: Construction around the house (Bobbie tells me what to build) Hiking (local with Bobbie, myself or Friends) AT Hiking (This is NOT the same as local hiking and can involve longer distances 12+ / day) that does require driving a while to get to the next AT section).

Sigh, onward...
