I knew an academic who was highly respected and seemed a pretty aware guy. But everyone knew that the last years were spent grinding it out in order to square away his retirement income. When he finally did retire, he died 6 months later.

Thanks, Planet. Don't have a copy of the book. Obama picked himself up off the floor after the 2010 election. I'm worried that we will be picking ourselves up off the floor after 2012. But I am somewhat encouraged that he will move to the "next level" in terms of toughness--the lack of which has been depressing everyone's confidence.

"explain...the presidency of Obama in terms of the hero's journey."

Open The Hero With A Thousand Faces to the section titled "Refusal of The Call."

Maybe it isn't too late, though [wistfully...]

That is more than just an interesting perspective.

I guess if you become too attached to the social mask, when you take it off or it is taken off of you, there is nothing else there; just nothingness.

As I book collector I was thrilled when a first edition of Campbell's "Skeleton Key to Finnegan's Wake" , 1944, came into my hands at a good price. I think the term "monomyth" , the collective myths of the hero's journey, came from Joyce. In my next lifetime I'm going to read the book. And I wait for you to explain to us the presidency of Obama in terms of the hero's journey.

All righty then!

Thanks for posting. As for Dr. X and his mask I have, let's forget that I'm blogging anonymously, always thought that the essence of long term health is being able to take off the mask of "profession".

I have seen many people who seemed to "double down" on their "career face" later in life and didn't seem all that healthy--or for that matter, humorous or interesting.

There used to be a statistic that Navy four stripers who retired had an average longevity of 12 months. Of course in their case they most likely drank themselves to death, which may be one in the same.

Thanks for this, Dick. Am
