Super Idea for Traveling and Writing Retirees

I saw a very innovative bit of information in the paper today about about Internet connections for travellers. The manufacturer is KVH Industries in Rhode Island. It turns the vehicle into a "roving hot spot" for using your laptop. It costs about $2000 and about 60-80 dollars a month but it would enable a person to travel in an RV and still continue to do business.
This invention/service could completely alter the way we live and work--retiree wise. Workers wouldn't have to put off traveling around the country just because they needed to keep their employment. This would be especially great for writers--since they are independent contractors any way! This opens up a whole new avenue.

Geez Loo-ize!!!

Lazy Sunday mornings.....the best times of the whole week. I have been by myself now for a few months and I must say I love it!
Solitude is essential for writers. That is why writing is such a lonely job. It would be great to do "brain mapping" on writers vs. non-writers to see how differently each group's brains were wired. Brain research and learning is one of my new interests. I get too many interests these days. There is so much I want to do, YET, I seem to get nothing done, because I am too busy dreaming about all the things I COULD do!!
Semi-retirement is so great! No stress, yet I still have a connection to the world. I love no stress.....my brain just seems to "lock down" when I have stress. It is like putting a clothespin on an artery--maybe that is an apt description for it. but I need money...need money.
Positano Italy....now there is a place I would like to go and spend time. Little villages stuck precariously in the side of a mountain overlooking the blue waters of the sea! Wow.....I don't know that I would like to live there always (since I pondering a new nomadic existence...) what to do with the house though is always a problem. This huge old Taj Majal keeps me from doing a lot of things, but I hate to give it up. Maybe I could trade places with someone for a while?
