8. For the last 10 years, I have been in introvert paradise.

Isolated house, no work demands, no social demands that can't be handled in brief telephone visits, and many hours a day of reading and thinking.
which I share with another introvert, Mr. Dixie.
He has a man-cave about 100 feet form the house, I get the house, and we connect for dinner and breakfast.
It's heaven.

But..one problem...the more solitude I get, the less tolerant I am for socializing with others. It gets downright uncomfortable.
