John Merrow retired as a national education journalist a while back, and he has been trying to figure out how to find a new purpose in life.
In this post, he describes his different efforts and how he found an activity that has kept him very busy and satisfied.
I should add that Merrow puts a great deal of time into his annual post on April 1. When he wrote about his decision to join the board of Pearson, he fooled a lot of people, including me!
Unfortunately, for most Americans, the prospect of retirement with dignity is itself a kind of April fool’s joke.
Sorry to be a buzzkill. Just very, very down lately.
Sorry to hear that. If we lived closer I’d buy you a beer and we could cry in it.
When he broadcasted about Michelle Rhee, he also fooled a lot of people.😉
Unwittingly, of course.
The way things are going, I think he is going to find a market for mismatched or even single gloves.
April fools!!
April Fools
April Fools are everywhere
Every day at every spot
April Fools don’t seem to care
What is true and what is not
