Your saying that, Om, reminded me that DH retired when he was 44 (1988) and
now it has already been 18 years. Humming right along -- "I'm so glad we
had that time together."
Don't be too anxious to retire, get the most out of every day -- I know you
do -- I'm just writing that for others who don't!
