Today, it happened. I retired. 
Forty-four years ago as as slim trim (read: skinny) 18 year old I joined the Navy. Twenty-four years later, I had my 1st retirement.
Today, I closed the next chapter of my career and had my 2nd retirement. Federal service is behind me as an employer, they are now my benefactor. Keep the checks rolling in!
What the future holds,eh, who knows. But like the Grateful Dead sang, "What a long strange trip it's been".
The one constant through it all, Wanda. My bride of <cough, cough> 41 years has been here through thick & thin, for richer or for poorer (much more frequent), in sickness & in health, and thru it all, my best friend.
Love her to death but if anybody ever needed your prayers, it's her. She gets me every day now.
I am now living the life where every day is a Saturday and Hump Day has no meaning.
