Congratulations!! Now get ready for the Honey Do List! :) My first year was hard, I did not want to give up the routine. It will take a little time before you realize, I have time! Just don't backup and sit down. Do all the things you always wanted but just could not find the time for.
Have fun, enjoy this time of your life!

You may find that retirement is not what it is cracked up to be.

Johnnie..congratulations on the mile-stone. Now watch out!!! In 6 months you will want another full time job, because NOW....1) you don't get weekend's off 2) no holidays 3) no vacations 4) no pay checks and our calendar get's so filled up that you will want to start divorce proceedings against the calendar!! Fill your days man, and get the most out of them...Smile at the end of the days and make sure someone else is smiling with you. Bruce
