It's now 99 days until my retirement. I'm officially a "DD" guy... "double digit". I've heard from friends in the army that they count down days before they leave theater... and, "DD's" get special treatment. I'm not exactly in a war zone.. but, sometimes, it feels like it.
June 30 cannot get here fast enough.

June 30 cannot get here fast enough. Bevo that is awesome. I am 58 and still years away. Thanks all those glorious moves by Biden like the inflation reduction act that even democrats stated would not reduce inflation, and lets not forget the attack on energy. Those wonderful moves which lead to rate hikes which lead to bank failures has certainly taken a hit on my nest egg. Good thing I like my job because thanks to those wonderful moves I'll get to stay here longer. |

Well. I’m not there yet. Life is a day to day contract. I thank God for every one. |

I retired last June and I've never regretted it a second. We watch our grandson on Mondays - he just welcomed a little brother so when maternity/paternity leave ends we'll have them both on Mondays. I'm the lunch bartender at a local golf course on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and I'm off on Thursdays and Fridays. I also host trivia one night a week. We're expecting a 3rd grandchild next month and we'll be watching that baby on Fridays. Fridays have been my movie days so i guess that will shift to Thursdays. In addition, I'll be riding cross country starting May 1 - San Diego to St. Augustine - with a couple fellow retirees. We're riding for LLS and hope to raise $100k, we've already hit $54k. Below is a link for those interested.
You'll love retirement, Bevo. Sometimes I feel like I'm busier than when I was working but now I'm doing things I want to do. Congrats and good luck to you and Mrs. Bevo!

Why I'm ready to retire: On Wednesday, I have to leave on a 11-day trip to Korea and China. I will MISS the NCAA Final Four semifinals, almost surely. I will miss all of The Masters, except (hopefully) the final round... although, I'll be so jet-lagged, I probably won't remember it. And, although I'll hopefully make it back just in time to go to church on Easter Sunday, I won't be able to sing in the choir. This is two years in a row I've missed The Masters.. although, last year, I watched the Final round in the casino bar on a cruise ship. THAT, is OK.  Tramping around Asia, NOT OK! |

We head to San Diego on Thursday and start the ride May 1. We also welcomed grandson #3 yesterday - Oliver Maxwell arrived at 5 am yesterday on his grandparent's 38th wedding anniversary. Today is grandson #1's birthday, hard to believe Hank is 2! |
