    Engaging students in higher order thinkin'
    I've got a great gig working with high school students, officially I teach special ed English and Math but really, what i do is try to show them that somebody gives a hoot about them. Then, we can work on more important stuff, like readin' writin' and 'rithmetic. Oh, and trying to sneak in some real education about the Dead. Most of today's kids have no idea who or what the Dead are all about. Today, first day back from break, I was carrying on excitedly about the upcoming tour, and I got comments like "Aren't they British?" "Aren't they a hard core metal band" and "isn't their music depressing" Oh, they have a lot to learn.

    I've done just about everything in my day, and I'm currently a writer, self-employed. That means I get to plug in the earbuds and listen to whatever I want! I am determined to avoid retirement. "The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer." - Ken Kesey

    But in my free time I teach Scuba diving. I'm a certified Scuba instructor teach all levels up to Divemaster and five specialties, Deep Diver, Nitrox diving, Wreck Diving, Search and Recovery, and Dry suit. This is really my passion besides Skydiving, the Dead. After the Army plan to teach Scuba or possibly do the wilderness guide thing have alot of experience in mountaineering woodland survival etc. Much safer than current job.

Hey everyone in this awesome forum! 👋 I thought I'd introduce myself and share a bit about my day job. I'm a house painter based right here in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia! 🇦🇺

I absolutely love what I do – transforming homes both inside and out with a splash of color and a touch of magic. From giving exteriors a fresh new look to adding personality to interiors, it's all about creating spaces that truly feel like home. 🌈🖌️

Currently, I'm part of a fantastic team at "Australian Painting and Maintenance Services Pty. Ltd." 🏢 Our crew is a bunch of skilled painters who take great pride in our work. We're all about delivering top-notch results, using high-quality materials to make sure our clients' visions come to life! 💪

If you're curious about our work or just love to see some impressive before-and-after shots, you can check out our website at australianpainting.com.au. We're always excited to showcase our projects and inspire others with our passion for painting! 🎉
Oh, and before I wrap up, I have to mention that besides my passion for house painting, I'm an avid Grateful Dead fan too! 🌹🎶 Their music has been the soundtrack to many of my painting sessions, creating a groovy and inspiring atmosphere. Some of my all-time favorite Grateful Dead songs are "Ripple," "Sugar Magnolia," and "Touch of Grey" - they never fail to lift my spirits! 🎵✨

Speaking of Australia, the Grateful Dead did have a memorable live show here! 🇦🇺🎤 In 1981, they graced the stage at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey, which was broadcasted live on the radio, reaching Deadheads worldwide, including us fans in Australia. Although they never performed a live show down under, their music and influence have certainly traveled far and wide, touching the hearts of many grateful fans across the globe. 🌏🌈 Keep on truckin', fellow Deadheads! 🚚💀🌹

So I just started my post-retirement gig with Trader Joe's
I love this place! The people, the employees, the food... all good!
If you have not been to a Trader Joe's in your area, go check it out and tell me what you think. Either way, I feel good about myself helping people find and prepare quality foods they'll enjoy at a reasonable price.

Engineering. First five years out of college was civil/construction in Eugene, OR. Since 1997 it's been software/internet/web in Boulder, CO. What a long strange trip it's been.

After 25 years as Chief of Clinical Physics (treating cancer) I took early "retirement". I'm now a professor of engineering and medicine. Recently I resumed work at the hospital to start a medical physics residency program. So - failure to retire syndrome...
