sort of an intro

 Still do not have a guiding plan for this.  I have around a dozen notebooks
partially or totally used for diary/journal purposes, but they would be hard
to work with.  There are topics I want to explore, but I am not quite ready.
So even this may take days to complete.  Was just at a page asking: Are you
a left-brain or a right-brain thinker?  There were 10 yes/no questions.  The
point of them was career advice.  Librarian, accountant, hospitality industry
and counsellor were four of the possibilities.  In general, writers tend to be
right-brained and mathematicians left-brained.  I am not a natural genius but
on a GRE I took in June of 1984--I was 43 then--my Verbal score was 740
and my Quantitative score 630.  The Q score put me with the bioengineers.
Another test I took during that decade indicated I should be a librarian.  I've
not been either, but most of my working years I was a Holiday Inn 3rd shift
clerk (a night auditor), a position which requires left-brain and right-brain
abilities.  Ditto for my teaching positions prior to drifting into the hospitality
industry.  Am I now just the hunchback of no name?  Could be.  I am edging
closer to/ being an ash.                                                         
                                                                                 
See brain/career article here.
                                                                                 
 So where is this trekking toward?  Nearly all the information above can be 
found elsewhere in my online posts, but not all in the same place.  If I'm    
allowed to live until I am 80, I may do more in fifteen years than I did in
the first 65.  I'm now a week past 67.7.  Obviously, my health--what there 
is of it--will have to be enabling; and that does not look good from today's
vantage.  Really, I ought to be residing in a place where I can walk to/ the
services I need.  There may not be such a place/ in this city: hospital,
doctors' offices, church, library, university, superstore.  There was a time
when I was a superior runner/ over short distances.  I can still walk fast,
but I doubt I can run.  What I do see a few years out--if I get there--is a
wheelchair.  Who knows, though, since good things are happening every
day.  My mother's body was in bad shape when she passed, but her mind 
was fine.  Meanwhile I am trying to do and learn more, which is why I am  
a reader of comments.  For example, yesterday I learned a new word, a 
word which isn't even in my Collegiate Eleventh.  It is in Silliman's recent
link list, but I didn't notice it.  It was in reading the comments that it got
caught in my thought.  That word is "asemic", and clicking it will take you       
to the perfect site for learning about it.
