Well, if your plans include that part of the world that is located in southern Germany, let me know and I'll buy you each a beer . . . at least one.

P.S. Love your signature!

Congratulations Cholula! Let's plan another FL do. You can do the flying (with Mrs. C this time) and leave the driving to Lofly.

If El Paso is good enough for the fair and beautiful Miss Emily (daughter of JFE), it could not be all bad. After all, JFE wants the best for his daughter. ^

Retirement for me can be defined very simply:

"Doing What You Want To Do and When/Where/With Whom You Want To Do It".

I found that my business schedule made waaaay too many of these decisions for me up until today.
The rules change starting tomorrow....
Congratulations! Why did you guys wait so long?
magic111 retired 04/07/2005

But I will agree with your quote in its entirety. Do like the quote of my neighbor though whom retired a few months prior to me even though several years younger - "Found out I was cheating myself while working."

For sure with all this free time are paths are bound to cross.
