Why the hat? Is it:
a. religious observance
b. denial of baldness
c. fondness for hats
d. extra storage for spare
kindling and marbles
e. none of the above
Answer: e. Actually, it's medical. Years
ago, multiple sunburns caused a pre-
cancerous condition of the scalp. I was told
to protect the scalp from sunlight or other
bright light so the condition will not progress.
I have. So it hasn't. It's worked.
Very few --- It isn't interesting.
Unless you're a close relative or spouse,
you can find better things to do.
I do NOT want to
1. tell other people what to do
2. hold any office
3. control finances
4. do administration
5. run meetings or take minutes
I certainly do want to contribute, but
not in the usual ways. I can do
more for the community informally.
That sums up my post-retirement
direction and approach.
