part one. The back story. Anger is fuel. We feel it and we want to do something. Hit someone, break something, throw a fit, smash a fist into the wall. Tell those bastards. But we're nice people. What we do with our anger is stuff it, deny it, bury it, block it, hide it, lie about it, medicated. Muffle it, ignore it. We do everything but listen to it. Anger is meant to be listened to. Anger is a voice, a shout, a plea, a demand. We're meant to use anger as a fuel to take the actions we need to move where our anger points us with a little thought, we can usually translate the message that our anger is sending us.

They aren't out of the water dozens at a time and the plopping sound as they plummeted back to the surface. Once upon a time, in a far away land, a young prince lived in a shining castle.

Retirement seemed to creep up on him. That's right, Kathy volunteered. My father noticed after a couple of years of retirement that he was slowing down, So he went and got himself a part time job. He now works 15 hours a week as a starter at the local golf course. He gets to meet people and uses social skills. The presented nodded his head vigorously. When we get older, we might want to slow down. We might not want the same level of business activity, but the data shows that when someone retires and does not replace work with something meaningful, they enter a downward spiral that can have seriously adverse consequences. And this is because we put all of our eggs into one basket. That's what you are. That's what you all are, Miss Stein said. All of you young people who served in the war, you're a lost generation. Really. I said you are, she insisted. You have no respect for anything. You drink yourselves to death. Was the young mechanic drunk? I asked. No, of course not.
