You have my heartfelt sympathy.
You also manage to maintain a far clearer vision than I ever did,
especially in regards to the future. Keep looking forward!
One of my bad examples (There are many):
1956 - While going to school on the GI Bill, I was a paid *IU* employee
of what
was to soon to be Indiana's PBS station - Graphic artist and photog -
(I shot 16mm kine for news and illustrated the kids story hour) - when
I left to seek my fortune (HA!) in newspapers.
After all, who watches TV? (sigh) 🤔
