What is this?


We retired a few years ago, just before the pandemic set in. So we got good experience finding things to do with ourselves. We started walking, I picked up photography again and the missus started upping her level of sewing and crochet.


We both started writing; memoir, short fiction, and poetry. We looked at doing a data analysis consultancy, since that was one of my prime activities during my career. But we kept getting side-tracked by our own projects.


So now this site serves as a record of what we're doing, what we've done, and what we're hoping to do. It's update frequency would probably serve as a good stand-in for a random number generator.


OFH Labs

The OFH stands for "Old Folks Home", a term that has gone out of fashion but resonates with the boomer geek who came up with it. We explore things that pique our curiosity and align with what we like, what we know and what we want to learn. By examining questions that intrigue us, we aim to keep learning and growing as human beings. This is our exploration of retirement by creating our own supportive environment.
