I've decided ... to Surrender (not retire!) ...
Updated: Feb 28, 2025
If you have visited me in the last 51 years you may have heard me say … “Oh, I will never retire.” I want you to know that I absolutely meant it. So now you ask … what's up? Have I somehow become unable to continue my given profession. I would say … NO ... but maybe, with age comes wisdom! Slowing down is, functionally, a given … as “we” age. So what does that mean for me? I'm so happy that you are curious.
I'm saying that I'm “retreating” from certain day to day “busy-ness.” I have built up a lot of business over the years and I have no desire to neglect anyone who has supported my obsession with designing and building such an obscure musical instrument. I have enjoyed success beyond my imagination! For that I owe an unpayable debt to my Sovereign Father. And, similarly, I owe a debt to YOU … my customers!
So what now? Well … great question (I just love questions). First of all … I'm still here. I'm still available. I always anwer my phone and emails. You can still make an appointment to visit. I am finishing up several “unspoken for” Hammered Dulcimers. I'll probably post pic's on my website if they're still available once I've finished my quality control processes. Love to meet you someday! (jrs 02-26-2025)
I appreciate the depth of research and clarity in your writing. Your article kept me engaged from start to finish. it reeks of rot
I loved your perspective on surrendering instead of retiring! It really resonated with me, as I feel the same way about embracing new possibilities. By the way, have you tried wordle answer today game? It’s such a fun little brain teaser to keep our minds sharp! What do you think about puzzles like that?
I tried several browser racers recently, but Drive Mad free stood out because the gameplay relies on skill instead of luck. It's easy to learn and hard to master.
Such a beautiful perspective on life! I love the idea of surrendering to a slower pace instead of just retiring. If you decide to celebrate this new chapter with a party, Hear me out is a really fun tool for designing unique cakes!
x8.club hôm bữa mình thấy mấy đứa bạn nói qua nên tiện tay mở thử cho biết thôi. Mình không có đọc kỹ nội dung hay ngồi khám phá hết, chủ yếu xem giao diện có dễ nhìn không. Vừa vào cái thấy trang làm khá gọn, khoảng trắng nhiều nên nhìn đỡ ngợp, kiểu lướt nhanh vẫn biết mình đang ở đâu. Mình cũng thích cách họ chia nội dung thành từng khối rõ ràng, không bị dính chùm một cục chữ dài, kéo xuống cũng không rối mắt. Cái mình để ý nhất là menu đặt ngay chỗ dễ thấy, bấm qua lại mượt và các khung thông tin được canh thẳng hàng khá rõ.
