I agree, for those who have something ready to go. Here is my
LinkedIn profile.
You bet, it's public, selective, sanitized and oriented to advancing my career
when I thought I had one (RIP 2008-2009 financial crisis). But my inner voyage
over the last 60 years has been often mystifying even to me, with too many false
starts and disappointments, and who wants to hear about that?
High points were (1) Yale, where my education succeeded brilliantly in preparing
me for a life after work, but also for (2) the two years I spent teaching in
China in an incredible interim between the horrors of the Maoist Cultural
Revolution and explosive capitalism and (3) the last five years In Paris, where
I am officially the "conjoint" of my diplomat wife, Pamela: "Elle travaille,
j'en profite." Indeed, Pamela, who I met in Toronto in 1974 after an aborted
academic effort in California and pursuit by the INS, has been the stabilizing
bedrock of my life since.
Curious to see how many of us (boys) have adopted beards post-retirement. Also
surprised to discover no other lawyers in evidence, since that was the default
career path for humanities majors without an academic vocation when I graduated.
PS: close textual analysis of poetry is excellent preparation for aggressive tax
planning but you need to have quantitative smarts as well, as most of you seem
to have displayed.
