I was recently talking with a colleague who said he was close to retiring. Gil (not his real name) is in his early fifties and slightly quirky. He’s the type of guy who marches to the beat of his own drummer. Although he works for a large, corporate-think company, he sports a long beard and tattoos. He’ll freely talk about politics and other matters that most folks would shy away from. With his wife, he lives in the country – far away from the hustle and bustle of society.
