Hello World!

It's nice to be joining you. I have no immediate prospects for editing or authoring but am enticed by the possibility. I am retired now for six years and have a continual guilt regarding my lack of a contribution to the world at large. It seems improper to have worked for only 40 or so years and then sit back and collect social security and pensions for the next 40 (my mother turns 101 this December.) I play golf 3 times a week, work in the community garden for 4-5 hours a week, spend untold hours on the internet researching genealogy (8,000+ direct ancestors) or working my stamp collection. I'm hoping that Wikibooks may be the outlet that gives me some additional pride in my existence.
