What do you do in retirement? As we get older we sometimes begin to doubt our ability to make a difference in the world. It is at these times that our hopes are boosted by the remarkable achievements of others who have found the courage to take on challenges that would make many of us wither. Harold Schlumberg is such a person. "I've often been asked 'What do you old folks do now that you're retired?' Well, I'm fortunate to have a chemical engineering background and one of the things I enjoy most is turning beer, wine, Scotch, and margaritas into urine." Harold should be an inspiration to all of us.

if financial situation allows, go see the world, do things you couldn't do when you were young like volunteering for a left/right wing extremist group.
