Thanks. I hear you. I told my wife she gets page 2 of the lists of things to do.

At least it did for me. I worked my entire life and the thought of just stopping was so foreign to me. But I got over that really fast. It's all good.

I been told the only problem is no more weekends.

Some other people at work I don't miss at all.

I will miss [U]some[U] of my coworkers and customers.

Thanks. I have lots of postponed things to keep me busy.
