Same problem here. Very hard to replace the income starting in a new field. I'm not necessarily looking to live out of a suitcase but wouldn't mind some travel.

I'm a criminal-defense attorney. And, occasionally, an innocent-defense attorney.

I am a New Jersey Professional Land Surveyor for 25 years, 33 years total experience. Doing the same in North Carolina after the move.When in New Jersey,it was nice when I found the original stones of the King's Grant for a Boundary Survey and the original control for the Delaware Raritan Canal. Also did the steel layout for Terminal "C" at Newark Airport.

I'm guessing it went the way of Armadillo World Headquarters and the such. The winds of change have been blowing here and are now at hurricane velocity.

I make my living as a mutual fund analyst for Morningstar, which means I talk on the phone to money managers who make much more money than I do, then write about the funds they manage and why you should or shouldn't put your money in them. I also write articles about investing, some of which you can find if you google my name. In my spare time (such as it is), I research and write about Shakespeare and Elizabethan theater history for books and academic journals, and go to academic conferences in that area. Next year I'm co-leading a seminar at the World Shakespeare Congress in Stratford-upon-Avon and London.

I am curious, what do you think of John Bogle's thesis (well, not his alone by any means, but one he popularized with Vanguard) that over time only a very very small percentage of funds and fund managers will outperform the S&P 500?

Sean, MSG is long gone. There isn't much left on 6th St that was there from the early to mid-80s. The Driskill is naturally still there. Esther's Follies is still there (different location but same irreverent comedy, fantastic magician also). Maggie Mae's is still there. But not much else that I can think of. The clubs seem to change frequently. I don't go there anymore and haven't for years, except to go to Esther's Follies. As Yogi said, "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."
