    I'm Retiring from Work Today

    Wow - I don't feel old enough to retire! My company gave me a retirement party a couple weeks ago and presented me with a Garmin Zumo GPS . . with two bike mounts. Guess they don't want me to get lost! Needless-to-say, I was thrilled with the gift.

    Strange feeling. One saves all their life, now it's supposed to be okay to spend and not save That will take some getting used to. On second thought, with the price of fuel etc, saving probably won't be an issue.

    But, this year I'm going to enjoy.

    Congratulation I'm jealous. My father was funny when he retired. It took a while for him to get past the fact that he didn't have to leave on Saturday morning and have to be back Sunday night when he went on a trip.

    Congratulations. Well deserved and smart enough to do it when you can still do other things.

    Hope to see you on the road.

    Congatulations.

    1. Have the Post Office hold the mail.
    2. Have a trusted friend look after the place.
    3. Lock the door.
    4. ...aw heck, you know what to do next.

    Hey, Muriel, is this an early retirement? I didn't think you were old enough.

    I'll be looking for you at a rally someplace on this planet soon!

    Congrats!

    For many people, this is a time when you can really start doing what you want to do instead of what you have to do.

    May you enjoy many years doing what you want!
