Joe’s Musings

 Returning to Blogging I blogged often 20 years ago then stopped. Instead I put brief notes on Facebook. I find I miss sharing longer comments about the modern world so I decided to give blogging another try. I retired at 83. My last tens years of work was serving as an Episcopal Priest at a small church in a small town. Previously I had been a scientist, executive in the Aerospace world, a Defense Department employee and I had a consulting business after my first retirement.  I am a snow bird living in a condo in Florida in winter and in a cottage on a lake in Michigan in summer. I was widowed after 60 years of marriage four years ago. My time is spent drawing, painting, and writing. I draw portraits and nudes from models at local art centers.
