Get a PhD (read all 2 entries…)
I have rethought my timetable 3 years ago

Age 73 – freighter trip around the world – study travel writing
Age 74 – land trip around the world
Aug – 75-80 get paid job so I can afford the rest of my life
Age 80 – MA history
Age 81-84 – PhD in history
Age 85 – 90 – teach history on-line
Age 90-95 – write
95-100 – detach

So…this is what I would complete this history degree in and the timetable I would use to achieve it.



Renovate my bathroom
It has been a great experience. 3 years ago

The house was built about 1923 and I have lived there since 1959. I did major rearrangement of fixtures and after going around town with my adult daughter (a real bonding experience) setted on a gray/silver laminate floor, white Home Depot fixtures, a taller toilet, pedastal sink, plain bathtub, and then an amazing turquoise Italian glass tile surround, to set the color theme for the bathroom. It is to have a Caribbean sea color theme, ranging from pale green to dark blue. Found an amazging blue light fixture, and then at Ikea a floor length mirror surround with tile matching the tub tile but including the darker shades of blue. Haven’t seen anything like it in the magazines or on the web.
