Why am I doing this?

I have neither land nor vineyards nor any debtors but have decided to let my high tech managerial identity remain fallow for a year or more to engender renewal. I started this sabbatical in February of 1995 with high hopes for travel, study, and rest just like the dictionary says. Now that the time I'd originally planned for a sabbatical is nearly over, I'm reconsidering what it means to work and what it means to be on sabbatical while trying to figure out what to do with "the rest of my life". I'll use these pages to examine what I've learned from the past 17 months, what I hope to gain from the next year, and how it all fits together.
