I'm 59, work in a museum, look like one of the artefacts and do not plan on retiring for a long, long time...I need to support this addiction of mine.

Besides, I have a long way to go before I can reach Yoda's age.

I'm a very young 62. Been a patent and trademark attorney for 35 years. Just took senior counsel status at my firm so I could slow down a bit - I am now working harder than ever. What's wrong with this picture?

Just gearing up for tax season, so I'm sure my stress levels & blood pressure are up there.

So do my accountant and half my clients.

But seriously, I had to start a separate company to handle the business of exploration, because my law firm clients thought I was too busy running off on expeditions to handle their legal work, and my exploration clients didn't like hiring a law firm to handle their kind of work. Now everybody seems happy.

Well, Dave, I for one am amazed at how you manage to handle two such diverse businesses that both demand your presence. I figure most people would have to clone themselves to do it.

Actually, I do most of my expeditions in the summer, when it's impossible to pick a jury because everybody is on vacation (especially in July and August). This year's once in a lifetime adventure may be diving in Guadalcanal, but I'm still a little foggy on the details.
