    I have been envious of very few people in my life, but retired folks have managed to work their way onto that short-list now. :wink9:

    That is because you are going to become one (retired) in a few year!!! Me too if I am lucky!! :jiggy9:

    Actually I love what I do way too much and make way too much money at it to quit completely any time soon. My wife Denise is retiring this year. She is telling all her teaching friends when they ask how she can retire so early, that she married her retirement plan.

    So I will keep shoving for at least 5 more years and see what I can dig up! :) But in 2 years I am going to become like a dentist and only work 4 days a week and have eternal 3 day weekends!!! :jiggy9:

    i dunno, sounds like a match made in heaven. she likes ridin' all over the place, and they like the publicity she brings them. that's a win, in my mind.
    good for her. can you imagine? someday she might be 100 yrs old and remember the time she went for a really, really long ride. i admire that she found a way to do it, and make good things come of it.
