Your story is enriched by the photos. I'm a bit older than you - I just turned 71 on the day of this post, October 11 - and I'm still aspiring to have the garage you left behind! The math hasn't worked for us, but it's getting better. Out of necessity I freelance long hours, but it is something I love. A few steady clients, they need me and I need them. Mutual interdependence has a way of keeping me young. I'm glad we met on Substack! This is a great platform for the old and the restless. Cue the sappy soap opera music.

right! For sure we not have met without the internets. I’m a little envious of you Frank, I’m trying to build a set of clients right now that I can keep working with over the next 10 years because I’ve learned we all need that connection and sense of accomplishment. And doing something that’s creative!

Happy Birthday Frank, wishing you many more

Don't be TOO envious! You are seeing and doing things that I only appreciate online, vicariously.
