Tony, congratulations!
Now you are a free man!

Wow. I'm jealous ! Best of luck, man. Now the REAL fun starts !

Tony,
When you leave a pleasing job of 40 years you lose part of you. In return you receive the opportunity to find out what else you�re about, the areas and talents that have not explored. I find myself cooking � I made a wood home stand for my keyboard, and I am back to playing my guitar.

It�s a beautiful time �enjoy.

YO Tony,
How great it is..............with a few exceptions, although not to many exceptions if your wife is retired too.
I retired in 1982 as a successful businessman with two degrees, and a decent income. Over twenty five years of retirement I have become the houseboy that does it all, including the shopping, the cooking, the house care, and car's care, financial, and on and on.
My young wife that doesn't retire until January comes home from her office, sets down to dinner, sets down to TV and lays down to bed.
I think you get the message.
Be very cautious about setting any precedents.
But...........Enjoy your retirement anyway.
Best to you and yours,
Bebop

Tony,

Congratulations on your retirement. Don't think about it as a door closing because many new ones may open for you.

Thnx all ... again I say "I LOVE THIS PLACE" ..
chas ... there are no soap operas on THIS guys agenda ...

My wife works 3 days a week as a legal sec'y - she's may go to 5 depending on how 'retirement' goes ... ...

I LOVE to cook, which is a good news/bad news thing, because I've got to watch the weight . ...

But I'm really looking forward to the new opportunities ...

thnx agn,
t.

...and she OWNS the remote!

Yes Taike but I have a lock on my recording studio door and there is a tv in here also but it hasn't been turned on in years
