Retirement

Woke up this morning, looked at the clock Bleary eyed, thought it read 5:23 Way too early... turned over and went back to sleep Woke up again which seemed like 10 minutes later The clock read 7:42 Thought for a moment in my stupor Holy crap! Gotta get up! Hey wait a minute... I'm retired No one's waiting for me to solve any problems To create a market plan for a new project My big easy chair awaits... SWEET!

I, too, have experienced this, Jack. Now, I stay in bed as long as I like. Everyone knows not to bother me with a phone call until noon, at least!

I was still free-lancer until my 80th years! Enjoyed it so much! Sad to call it day!!!
