How will you spend your time and/or make a living between ages 60 and 100?
As improved medicine and machinery continue to expand our lifespans in the developed world, the current model in which we work until age 65 +/- and then "retire" seems sadly outdated. New questions begin to arise, though, when we reflect on how we will each make a living and how we will make a life. I am excited to see what kind of ideas you all come up with.
One particular question related to the model is this: if someone goes back to school to re-tool for a whole new career at, say, 50, will they get hired into career-track positions where they could work for 20 years?

unaware of foreign faces
who smile friendly smiles
off shore and out of sight
My bedrooms a bookstore of delight
a transit station of imagination
list the book and wait
What is it you adore?
I hope I have it on my floor
in a pile; an eyesore according to my wife
who puts up with me with a knife
in one hand swearing one more book and and
and so I sneak them in in bags and boxes
scaliwags and foxes.
The gentle madness has me.
Ebay is my therapy
ebay is an income stream
ebay is a cloudy dream
whereby I connect with international commerce
World peace through World trade
read the sign high above Lexington and 8th.
once in bricks and shelves of wood
a little book store stood
people would browse around
and give meaning to what they found
but no more
