One of the perks of getting older USED to be that airlines offered reduced fares. Those discounts have pretty much disappeared lately. Hell, you can’t even get a full can of soda on most flights to accompany that grab bag of artificial food they throw your way.
Pilots, on the other hand, can fly anywhere they [...]

It’s tough being broke and facing retirement. The cost of living keeps rising. Energy is soaring. Who knows, maybe the city will start charging for the right to sleep on top of a grate with warm air flowing up through it — that is, of course, as long as there’s not a jolt of electricity [...]

This book is out-of-print, but Amazon has used copies for sale. I suspect it’s not easy working for a boss who’s younger than you and maybe understands how to work with new technology more efficiently. Everything has a learning curve. Jump in and understand the concepts. The rest is easy.

Aah, the good life. There’s a myth in America that if you work hard, don’t take sick days, never spend more than you earn, and are married, you’re assured a blissful retirement. Unfortunately, genetics, inflation, and pension dumping corporations get in the way. The idea of leisure time is hard to fathom when all you [...]
