I switched jobs from a high paying software development job where I spent my days in my cellar office, alone with no one to talk to and only an occaisional call about "new software problems" to resolve... to something totally different - selling stairlifts. I meet interesting people everyday, do something that directly helps people. Clients range from the Rich and Famous (authors Steven King, Ann Givens Siddons) and a bunch of CEO's that have more money than God .... to interesting and wonderful people who can barely scrape together two cents. I've read more that 30 books on evolution in the past 24 months. I've bought a sailboat. Most of all I've joined an existing men's group and started another, and find following the vicissitudes of another dozen males lives to be fasinating... and personally rewarding (got some good advice about how to handle some rocky parts of my life). MENS GROUPS a real good idea for a life-restart. I also belong to UUMen and participate actively in the FORUM discussion group on www.uumen.org. Essentially I used to live a trapped life of "quiet desperation" .... until I got truly desperate, realized we only have one shot at THIS (life)... and decided to make a change. Anyone can do it. Takes a bit of balls, but, we all have 'em. Frank Mundo I am flirting with retirement at the moment.

I thought that it would be worth the wait if that time comes. Then I realized that it's like a game of chance that can't be good all the time. It's much better if we make sure of our future.
