The Thoughts On Life Blog – From Where I Sit, are Richard’s written thoughts, looking at life from a retired point of view. He talks about how things have changed, both for the good and bad, since he was a younger man and how he sees things going forward in the future. Topics include music, songwriting, finance, technology, and as the title says, thoughts on life. He writes a blog post twice per month.
