So, we spent some time in Honesdale, PA yesterday. We had the car for a few hours and Rach wanted to hit the homemade soap shop which expanded to homemade teas, iced teas and some pastries (that's the iced tea above - yum)
Rach was already known so she introduced me to the two proprietors as her retired husband. When I explained I had been a cop neither thought I looked like one ;)
When asked what I did to keep busy, I mentioned I wrote games - Dungeons & Dragons (the universal example)
"Oh, so you are a gainfully employed geek!"
Kinda.
I certainly don't make enough from blogging or writing to live on but it is enough to supplement my pension with some discretionary funds.
Gainfully Employed Geek. I actually like the title...
G^3
ReplyDeleteBest cops don't look like cops fools the bad guys.Like my accountant always said it doesn't matter how little you get paid as long as you like doing it and you are doing it for yourself
ReplyDeleteBeen living the dream for 27 years. Now I'm off to sip snapple in my plastic wading pool...
