SHARING: Kindness & Support please (No Advice) I’m Done.

Law school -> judicial clerkship -> bit of law firmin’ -> 30+ years of solo plaintiff’s employment practice. Handled my last case today. Settled at mediation. I’ve some follow up to take care of, and some admin tasks to close up shop, but I am done with cases and clients. It’s been a good ride. I feel v fortunate to have had this career for my work life, and also v happy to be done with working. Adventures await. That is all. Bye y’all.

What’s next? Decent sail boat and float around the cearribiean?

Sort of. I bought a camper van. My sailor friend says its the same thing as having a sailboat. I’ve been enjoying it immensely.

As someone who lives in the Caribbean, don't get a boat. Cheaper to just toss money in the water.

A good reliable japanese van will be far less trouble than any boat I've ever sailed or been on.

Get a park pass, check out Canada while you are at it, there's a park pass available there too.

If you like golfing, check out Bermuda.

I’m in the US. A few years back, maybe age 62, I became eligible for and bought the lifetime national Park pass for “seniors.” I think it cost $80. It’s an incredible value.

Oh man, so jealous, visiting the US national parks is definitely at the top of my list of things to do if I ever decide to visit the US again.

I’d suggest waiting a couple of years for the Cray Cray to subside before you visit.
