Good morning everyone!


A Something in a Summer's Day
- Emily Dickinson,


"A something in a summer's Day
As slow her flambeaux burn away
Which solemnizes me.


A something in a summer's noon --
A depth -- an Azure -- a perfume --
Transcending ecstasy.


And still within a summer's night
A something so transporting bright
I clap my hands to see --


Then veil my too inspecting face
Lets such a subtle -- shimmering grace
Flutter too far for me --


The wizard fingers never rest --
The purple brook within the breast
Still chafes it narrow bed --


Still rears the East her amber Flag --
Guides still the sun along the Crag
His Caravan of Red --


So looking on -- the night -- the morn
Conclude the wonder gay --
And I meet, coming thro' the dews
Another summer's Day!"

Not really. I am rather envious of your early retirement. The question for me would be what to do. I have been around most of the world, do not like golf, can only do just so much target shooting before I would go deaf, there is also just so much karate my old bones could take and besides, Calli would have a fit if I were home all day as I would be encroaching on her domain. LOL. It is a real dilemma I tell you.
