A frame from 'Family Guy' showing where Peter has torn a wall from the house to build himself a club house, the wall being an outside wall from Stewie's room. From outside we see the baby stand in the opening. "I don't like change," he announces in a frightened tone.
I am facing a career shift in my mid-fifties, dropped on me by my employer of 15 years. They layed me off, then extended me and extended me... today was supposed to be my last day and HR just called and asked if I'd stay another week, they still can't decide whether to make me a part-timer or rescind the cut. Flattering, I suppose, but more indicative of their own poor decision making.
Writing: I've been able to get back on the short story horse. I've got a couple that I'm steadily polishing. I have also been looking more and more at self-publishing my Buried gold tale. The industry has changed since 2001, with many more players, and many permutations on the services offered. One thing that has changed it hugely: the web. Self promotion is so much easier now. Even those uninclined to stand in front of a crowd can easil put up a web site. Of course, then you need to drive traffic to it...
