In a recent blog I received a comment complimenting some fan art of my illustrious carrier and mentioned I could be a candidate for work in the marketing department. After another comment teased him regarding the content of my writings he rescinded most of his compliment to leave me only with "photo editing."

If this is something you can tolerate, I think that's great. If it's not and you want to slam on the brakes to this blog you might ...

Soon I'll embark upon what I suspect to be the last career of my life before retiring. I'm 52 now and have been in two different careers since college. One was engineering (13 years) and the other was middle school teacher (14 years).
