Richard,
Now it's your turn...
Life in reverse By George Carlin
"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends.
I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time.
What do you get at the end of it?
A death.
What's that, a bonus?
I think the life cycle is all backwards.
You should die first; get it out of the way.
Then you live in an old age home.
You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch,
you go to work.
You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.
You drink alcohol, you party,
you get ready for high school.
You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb,
You spend your last nine months floating...
Then you finish off as an orgasm."
Bob

I'm right behind you, Richard. Only 67 more work days and I'm hitching up myself, starting out with the Cajun Heritage Caravan in mid-March. I absolutely cannot wait!!!

I agree... retirement is but a distant light in a long tunnel for me.
Most retired guys that I talk to say they have never been busier in their whole life?

WAY TO GO RICHARD!!!
Knowing what I know and doing what I do, I don't see retirement in my future. Can't sit still long enough....
Have a great time!

You know, since you posted this morning, I've been thinking about this. And I'm just so thrilled for you! Both of you! A pic to show such joy! (That's me on the right.)

Now, the real hard work comes forward, trying to figure out how to get all the things done, that were put off until retirement. 
Rich, give it all you got, and ENJOY..

Well it's over, the work I mean. As I sit here in Verde Valley, looking out at the mountains we just came from after spending a wonderful summer, all we can do is wish you two the best for your retirement. Travel well and have as much fun as we are having. We will see you tomorrow at DD.
