What is FOOM?
Life is much shorter than most people understand until they are truly out of time. The young see life as a never-ending resource whose finite nature is largely ignored. Hours become days, days become weeks and months, then years and decades. At some point one looks back and laments how quickly time has passed (FOOM! The speed of life). Upon reflection, however, those lost years were not without value. Adventures, hobbies, and even daily tasks filled those days, years, and decades with memories, skills and diversions that can now be passed down to those who would listen. FOOM Enterprises is my way of sharing “How I Did It” over the past fifty plus years. There are undoubtedly many other ways to do what I have done, but the posts on this site are taken from my actual experiences. I invite you to explore with me as I remember and record some of the highlights.
