I find myself in an odd frame of mind of late. I am past the “normal” retirement age, but not all the way to the “maximum benefit” social security retirement age. I have a full-time job that I like a lot, but because I was a full-time student up until a month or so ago, it seems like I have a ton of extra time on my hands because half of what I was previously doing completely went away. I have no “big” long-term goal like the retirement PhD program that I completed before I retired. Now, I have nothing I am really doing “for the future.” I am trying to figure out what to do about that. So, while Lorena and I wait for our place in San Pedro to be ready enough for us to stay there for a month or two, I kind of have nothing on which to actually work other than my day job and that feels weird. I bought a bunch of really interesting theology books that I plan to read through, not fast, but I really want to find something if I can.
