    Graph looks like my pulse rate lately.

    Sorry! Again, hope you’re not forced out of the retirement.

    My chest has been aching lately, need to watch the markets less and sleep more.

    Actually, I went right from retirement into a second career as a teacher. Now I need more sleep than ever.

    I thought teaching was your first career?

    In any case, must be fun. I know kids are more obnoxious now, but I still find that being surrounded by younger people lifts my spirits. Suck that youthful energy out of them! :D

    What are you teaching?

    No, my first career was as an engineer. That’s how I can afford to be a teacher now. I teach math remediation to at-risk 8-10 year olds.

    What’s “at risk”? from “bad” families?

    Sometimes. But mostly at risk of failing their end-of-grade tests for graduation.
