I just got home from work a few minutes ago, and I'm not going back! After a 37 year career I am going to start working for a new boss tomorrow - ME! I hope to spend the next couple of years going through all the things on my to do list that have languished. First up is getting the house ready to begin remodeling. Everyone have a terrific Thursday, I know mine is going to be great!
Regards, Jim

FAn-TaS-tIC!
You do know you are going to be busier than ever--don't let your friends/family assume you have lots of time to do things for them, unless it's something you really want to do. It's worse when you have a truck...

Thanks everyone. I appreciate your kind thoughts very much. It was nice not to hear an alarm clock going off at 4:40 AM this morning!
