I've been cleaning out my home office. I'm throwing away essentially anything having to do with my 50 year professional career as a computer security guru. I've run across lots of old correspondence, files of
reports written by me or my colleagues or our customers, specifications
of various things, and boxes and boxes of 3 1/2 "floppy" disks. I'm
also in the process of recycling ancient computers and peripherals that
would be useless today, even if they ran (not sure I have a working
monitor for any of them.) For at least 10 of those years I worked out
of that office (perfect set up for a drunk, I might add) and there were
many reminders of all that time.

I feel no remorse or regret at throwing any of that stuff away -- and I
can't imagine why I got so immersed in the subject for so long or got so "emotionally involved" in one controversy after another. (I might add
that I was very good at it and highly regarded in the highest government
and industry circles.) While my memories of everything I ran across
were very clear, it as almost as if none of it ever happened -- I'm now
in a completely different universe.

Yep, a whole new world. Hope it goes smoothly for you. You might want
to take a few items and save them as mementos of your work, your time,
for your grand kids. I had some samples of some of my work and I threw
them all away. Things like parts for the first B1-B and the Shuttle.
Wish I would have kept them.

Everybody has *one* thing they are exceptional at. The trick is to
find out what it is.

Oh yes, I'm keeping a few momentos.
