VERY well understood.

i'm daily looking evermore forward to going home to Rockport to "converse with the herons" & where a "LARGEmouth" (as a next door neighbor) is a FISH!

making $$$$$$ is fine, but this existence is surely is NOT "living well".

otoh, i suspect Uncle Sam will soon "get me out of here" (none too soon for my taste!).

a coworker's father (a COL, O-6), who is 63 years old was just "called up" from the Retired Reserve for duty as an IN officer for a minimum of THREE YEARS! (my guess is that my time is coming & SOON.)

I would love to be able to serve, but I guess I fall into the category of “they also serve who only stand and wait.” I have a grandson on the ground in Iraq, and one ready to go. But I also have a yellow ribbon on my door.
