It is just hard to get on with the day. My retirement schedule chocked full of “chores” from plumbing to taxes just cannot compete with the fun and fire that comes with a good class in Playwriting. I know it was the right time to retire and certainly it comes with many privileges that make it easier to age but still the thrill of a student writing their first play – – and witnessing that spark that says, “I may want to do this again and again.” It hurts not to hear that.
