I began a few years ago with a simple one page occasional report to our five kids. That’s our gang in 1973 at left. The newsletter has since grown to a weekly (every Saturday about 10:30am depending on what I was up to Friday night). I’m learning new software to convert the newsletter to a blog (which you have found). Previous delivery of the newsletter was a pdf file as an attachment to an email. I use publisher software to create the newsletter and can send to those requesting a copy: fns@franksiegler.com should you want a copy instead of waiting until I fully master the mechanics of this blog format.
In the meantime, you can check my progress here and have a chuckle or two as I wade through very unfamiliar territory involved with WordPress software and the not-so-intuitive instructions from the company that also hosts my business website www.franksiegler.com.
A “few” years later, I find myself a widower with the same five kids riding herd on me as I spend retirement ranting and raving for anyone who will listen. I do often wonder why the kids say “be nice” to me as they introduce me to people.
I’ve discovered that retire is what you do to your car. I’m still active as a small business consultant specializing in helping start ups…most pro bono.
I didn’t figure growing old would happen this fast. They (whoever they are) say that wisdom comes with age. I know a lot of old people who are still stupid…many politicians among that group. There is a great concern right now about who will be in the White House for four to eight years. I worry more about the old (and stupid) politicians who have been in Congress for over 20 years and spend most of their time pandering for money and facetime whenever a camera shows up.
Thanks for visiting.
You are now among my group of imaginary friends.
I’ll try to keep the blog as enjoyable for you as it is for me.
