Slow Down

Tom Kermgard takes us back. Way back. And yes, we can go home again, particularly to big hair (when we had it), rock star apparel (when we could fit in it), and to the songs that bring back the memories that we'll never forget (assuming we're still not forgetting anything).

We all know how a song can take us back to a place where the memories are poignant, even if it’s 55 years ago. But no matter. Our accomplished Contributing Editor, Dave Slavin, has a message (or maybe it's a song) for all of us: There's nothing wrong with spending time reflecting; in fact, it's probably a great idea. 

Writing in retirement, in any format, is splendid for mental acuity, kick-starting your imagination, and sharing your wisdom with generations who are looking forward to reading your insights.
