Yellowstone was on my bucket list, so another one checked off! :yay: Funny thing though, I find myself wanting to visit most places again someday. I hear about things I missed!
I love, love, love Yellowstone! I've been there twice (once when I was about 3 and then again when I was 12). Parts of Yellowstone look like an alien planet! So happy you got to go. I would love to go again.Quote:

Thank you everyone! I am so looking forward to no more month ends, quarter ends & year ends. I missed several concerts because I couldn't leave work the last 3 days of every month. And when Soda is in town, we will not have to plan around my work schedule. :D Yay!
Plus I can finally get around to organizing all the Eagles memorabilia from the 70's to now. When we were cleaning out my parents' house a few years back, we came across boxes and boxes in one of the spare bedrooms. My mom apparently did not throw anything away!! :dizzy: A couple of them labeled with my name were filled with magazines containing Eagles' articles. I was a huge fan from the beginning. It is like a trip down memory lane. So I am anxious to getting started on that.
That's awesome, HB!Quote:

And HB - Congrats on your upcoming retirement. I didn't think you'd ever really do it! lol
Make sure you have a retirement plan. A few years ago, I decided to retire, but I didn't realize how important it was to have a long-term plan. After I got through my short-term 'To Do' list, I got bored. So, after a year of retirement, I decided I wanted to go back to work. I accepted a 4 month contract that has turned into 2 years. I have been extending the assignment a quarter at a time. I had made up my mind that I was going to call it quits for good when my contract ended on June 30th this year. But, after the Coronavirus hit, I decided I may as well go ahead and continue to work since I couldn't do too much of anything else. I feel very fortunate in that I can pretty much work on my own terms in a job that I really enjoy. Having said that, I really am planning on calling it quits at the end of this year. Hopefully, I will have a better plan for Retirement II, and the pandemic will be under control so we can enjoy our golden years.

Well, it is FINALLY here!!! After 45 years of getting up and going to work everyday, TODAY is my last working day. My best friend reminded me yesterday that I have never had a break except for vacation days. I was very blessed in that I was never unemployed.
I listen to the Classic Rock station in the morning on the way to work and today they played "The Long Run". How freakin' appropriate is that!!!! :partytime:
Hopefully this weekend, I can start getting caught up here on the Border. I know I have missed a lot of birthdays, life celebrations, troubles, etc.
Congratu-freakin'-lations! Quite the accomplishment! I am so happy for you!Quote:
