May 21st

 was yesterday. It's interesting how people I haven't spoken to in several years can turn up in my dreams and we converse normally. I asked for updates on family and friends and I provided details on what I have been up to in the years since our last meeting. Some are people I'd expect and am glad to see. Others are obscure people from early in my work life that I really forgot about. Still, I enjoy dreams like that.

Been a long time

Wow, I didn't realize how long it has been since I posted here. Not that I expect that anyone is reading it. Still, life is good despite the days going by faster and faster. A month past the middle of my 68th year. I am enjoying not working. I spend much of my time playing and learning music. I am probably never going to be a virtuoso piano player or a highly skilled singer but I enjoy doing both. 

I still need to use all of my accumulated frequent flyer miles before they expire. I am not building them up anymore since I don't do much air travel. Ideally first class to Europe but with American devaluing them, I'll probably be lucky if I get economy plus. 

Still frequent dreams about work and the people with whom I worked. Some really obscure former coworkers even show up, along with regulars. I was watching the show Severance on Apple TV. The halls in the office complex reminded me a lot of walking in an academic department on a campus at 4 PM on a Friday. Lots of closed doors in a sterile building.
