Well, you've been out of it (excuse me--teehee) for quite a while. Academe did have its benefits (I liked the students!) but it also had some strains (anyone for a meeting?).
I hope the bumps your foresee are actually small and do not continue to arise on the path for academe...and maybe some of them will cause worthwhile changes.
Good points, Laura. Mayhaps I retired at the right time?
You did!! Things are going to be bumpy this year.
