So I retired last August on a Friday, and went back into another job on
the following Monday.  At least you got two years out of the deal...I
only got two days.

Alas, my contract is up in August...who knows what's next.

John, living in my lake house at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri;
retired with pension; grandsons ninety miles away; health still good;
...;
a few friends thought I was nuts for going back to work.  However, some
old
War Horses need some additional purpose and external challenges.  Maybe
I
will be ready to retire some day; just not now.

Best regards, Steve
