I have always valued stability. This makes me a very poor candidate for entrepreneurial endeavors. Now that I’m retired (and until the US Government doesn’t honor it’s financial commitments anymore), I have reasonable financial stability. That means I can focus on less stable prospects.  The first is focusing on writing fiction. That’s something I was always interested in, but I didn’t get serious until around 2002.  Since I still haven’t put anything together that I believe is worthy to send out in search of someone who would want to publish it, speed is not my strong point.

The other things are a couple of museums my husband wants to assemble.  After much deliberation, we’ve decided to put everything together as an LLC. There is virtually no chance we’ll make a profit with either museum, but the emphasis on non-profits is much, much larger and more focused on fund raising and grant-seeking, and other stuff we’re not interested in, so the LLC route seems the more logical way for us to proceed.It’s to still several years before it will be ready to move forward.

In the meantime, we have a 1900 Victorian house to paint, an old car dealership (furniture store, most recently) to clean out in preparation for the museums, and a couple more properties to maintain. Nothing gets done quickly, but we keep plugging away.
