Three years and counting...

This is the anniversary of my retirement from gainful employment and into the ranks of the idle layabout. "Do you miss work?", people ask. No, never...but sometimes I do miss the intelligent people I was fortunate enough to work with. I don't ever miss the corporate nonsense that seems to have replaced common sense and hard work. "Don't you get bored?" Never...I'm rushed off my feet, between training, running, travelling, writing, caring for my parents (and children!), and the million things you deal with in life. I'm never wondering what to do today. I never have to sit in traffic while commuting. I don't have to pretend that I care about things that are ridiculous, unimportant and demeaning. My life is full and as happy as the human condition allows, and I'm very lucky and grateful for that.
