I thought I had retired, but....

Don't get me wrong, I like not having a job. But I miss work. Work gives me focus. Maybe that's why retirees volunteer at food banks and schools, teach reading and English as a second language. Or they take up a yoga or meditation. Without a focus, life is kind of fuzzy; you have a hard time remembering which day of the week it is.
So, I'm going back to work. But on my terms. No bosses. No set schedule. Nothing but the work.
The work is writing stories and making audio recordings. I've been doing this for much of my life. I was a newspaper reporter and university magazine writer; I've hosted radio programs and worked as a stringer for a local radio station.
Audio equipment is not expensive these days, thanks to digital technologies. A couple of good microphones, a digital recorder and a computer with an audio editting app get you in the game.
Being an old guy, business cards are part of my kit. I spent $15 at Staples for cards. On the front it says HearSay Media -- Stories written and recorded. The flip side has my contact info. Cards make people feel less hesitant to talk to me.

Now, it's time to get to work.
This blog is going to be my journal. I don't care if anyone keeps up with it. I'll also post audio from the projects I work on. And photos, too.
