the real edge of tomorrow

Now retired and set for this life
I'll hang in the kitchen with wife
Am I paranoid?
She seems so annoyed
It scares me when she grabs a knife

A great title for a great limerick. Many will resonate with this one. So true to life dear Duke. So many want to be alone in the kitchen without others getting in the way. I do hope that you will both have a great retirement. :):)

So far so good. Seems like there is a lot to do. We're very lucky to have made it to this stage of life being in a position to enjoy it. Sometimes I get lucky thinking up a title.

I don't blame her. I want to be the only cook in my kitchen. Haha. Maybe you are licking too many spoons. Heehee

Very funny Andrea! I like to joke about it, but she is my super sweetheart. It's good that we still get along!

Funny, I'm supposed to call it quits at the end of January. However, I can change my mind. It all depends on whether work will be fun or torture.
