Yeah Norm,

I hear you. I too dedicated 46 years of my life bringing reality to someone elses whims and desires.

These past two years of my retirement have been the freest and happiest of my life. I can never understand those who retire and then go back to a rigidly structured occupation because "I couldn't stand being at home all day with nothing to do". I'm never at a loss and I love the freedom.

Well I've given you bare bones so the liars, er, storytellers can add the flesh and detail. We all need to hound them about it and the pictures.

Dan and John just left for St. Louis, and we miss them already. (I got to look at that beautiful cat of Dans again in the daylight. And what a beautiful one it is.)
