I've had my share of local travel before I retired. I don't miss it and I don't want any more of it.

My mother died in her late 70s, my father in his early 80s. Based on their ages when they passed away, I surmise that I have only ten to 15 years more to live. I don't want to spend this time on public relations, meeting people, and further promoting my public image. I need all of the rest of my life to complete my 40-volume, literary collection and my 40-painting collection for Maryhill School of Theology.

These are my two, metaphorical, Sistine chapels, and what I would like to leave behind before saying goodbye.
