You just have to remember one thing. As long as I am alive and kicking, my home will always be available for you to some and stay for as long as you want. The second thing from a seasoned old retired fart - initially the financial constraints cause butterflies in our stomachs, but believe me it all works out just fine. Not quite, as you say, luxury cruises, but most decidedly New Orleans and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnKOVPXhlnERummuserhttp://www.rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3599918867507699918.post-74192427476906473192015-04-02T05:09:46.133-05:002015-04-02T05:09:46.133-05:00Even though it is April Fool's Day I am going ...Even though it is April Fool's Day I am going to bite and bestow a well deserved 'Congratulations!" on the retirement milestone. It sounds like you have a reasonable approach lined out for the near future. I wish you the best and hope those pesky health issues stay a bay for some years to come.<br /><br />Interesting that you'll be perhaps moving. I chose to move back to the area where I grew up when I retired. I'm sure my choice was based at the time more on being near family and services than where I truly desired to be... somewhere out in the middle of nowhere!Alan Ghttp://www.somefinalthoughts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3599918867507699918.post-8918528784813031352015-04-01T22:13:28.919-05:002015-04-01T22:13:28.919-05:00Glad you've got so many great plans.

Lot of great chances for expression. from Paverotti stuff to Barbershop. (did you ever sing when you were playing guitar so seriously?) And since you're probably a bass- the party animal in quartett singing, you'd have a blast organizing the after parties. Ps. I'd love a picture of you in a pink striped vest and straw hat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3599918867507699918.post-1757965869936623292015-04-01T16:11:53.352-05:002015-04-01T16:11:53.352-05:00It is never too late to have a Happy Childhood and...It is never too late to have a Happy Childhood and the second one is up to you!
