Keeping Busy

As far as 67-year-old Robert Young is concerned, "Real fulfillment is knowing what you want to do — and being allowed to do it. ... I want to work 'till I die." He says this after having tested retirement for six years...

"There were some of the unhappiest men in that retirement community," he reveals. "Former chairmen of the board — some who had ruled business empires. I'll never forget the day one of them complained, 'I woke up this morning and thought, what in the hell do I do today?'"

    Mixcraft is Ikea build-it-yourself music.  They give you the instrumental loops, and you put them together however you see fit.  In this case, four bars of the solo acoustic guitar, then layer in loops of the bass and organ, and some percussion.  Fade out at 0:42 or so.

Next:  write the Kitten Fund monthly letter to its supporters.  Plenty to write about, and plenty of kitten photos to display.  All I have to do is show up, play with kittens and pay attention.
