Default Well, it's finally gonna happen
Been working pretty steady since I was 16 years old. But, tomorrow evening when I shut it down, it will be for last time. Retirement here I come.

Now, I'll have more time to pursue my real interests. Hunting, fishing, playing golf and visiting with my 2 new grandsons.....

Been managing a team of Oracle engineers for 15 years or so now... Been in the I.T. business for 34 years... They gave me a nice going away gift this week. I will thoroughly enjoy them.

Remember there’s a CHE 20 that will let you shoot a wild Bob this Fall. Do your mojo dance to give Missouri a good hatch.

Joe, I made a similar move 25 years ago. It seems like yesterday. I hope to make it another 25. 29 years herding cats, no going away gift, but I outlived most of the cats.

The best thing you can do for your retirement Joe is to keep yourself in good health. Stay active and don't watch TV. Spend as much time as possible with friends and family. Not having to get on the road every morning and fight the traffic is a big benefit. I guess you heard we lost a major bridge here in Baltimore. Traffic is now a real cluster. Not my problem any longer.

Enjoy
