Beautifully said. Life is what happens while we are making other plans.
Don't let your "job" get in your way on this decision, Walt. I envy you in
the position of having the choice available!

Walt this is an intelligence test.
Which is the best choice? A) Retire, wake up when you are through sleeping,
have everyday be a Saturday, do what you want to each day and continue to
have the same stream of income that you had prior to retirement. B) Continue
to work, get up to the alarm clock, drive on by the sunrise (or whatever
other photo opportunity presents itself because you have to be at work),
continue to trade your time (those essential, nonrefundable increments of
your life) for someone else's money (same money you would have if you had
not traded your life for it) and enjoy not having the freedom of time you
have earned.
Did you pass? This is not your "dress rehearsal" life. Pull the plug and
clog up the list with your postings. I look forward to seeing them. Bill
