I was looking for something to do after winding down a career in high-tech sales and a nasty divorce, barely maintaining myself and child support payments by playing music and working as a carpenter during the day, when I started dinking around with dBase III+ as a viable computer language.
I soon discovered FoxBase (now Visual FoxPro) and sort of fell into the e-whirlwind that became the dotcom bubble, and three major cities and many lucrative development contracts later, here I sit again in the same small town I was in when I started. Mrs Marauder and I figured it's a lot cheaper to be unemployed in this small town than in a big city, where our house payments were four times the amount of this one.
Back to playing music, but since I'm in my sixties now, I think I'll just take it easy; find a job in a small retail store - musical instruments or building supply - and relax. Kids are all grown, so the only pressing need is house payments and groceries. Don't really wanna retire yet.
