You should read "The Meaning of Everything" and "The Professor and the Madman" if you are interested in lexical studies of the English language. Simon Winchester's writing is brilliant.

I will. I'm currently reading "The Elements of Style" which my Fiance swears by. She is a fantastic writer.

Is that a paperweight made of paper? Seems redundant but you're all about redundancy

Have any of you given thought as to what you might do when you retire? I've thought about this and I'm sure what I want to do will change later in my life, but carpentry is really interesting and fun to me. I will most likely try to master that if I ever am able to retire.

I am not sure what I will do. But I know that @art_of_shred will go back to custom cabinet making and construction/remodeling. Along with band stuff.

@wirestyle22 Retiring? In my dreams, I want to run my own tech conglomerate.

If you want to do something different when you retire, why not do it now? Don't save what you love for when it is too late.

When Laura and I build our house and then I invest in the tools etc it will be more realistic. Right now I'm making my own video game.
