Speaking of retirement

Then there was the guy who asked his wife what she wanted for her birthday. She said “I want a divorce”. He said “I wasn’t thinking of spending that much.”

As for me I’m working my ass off.

But what the hell, at the hospital every morning at 7. Home sometimes late. Never before 5. Occasional night call but now very rarely.

Meetings. Clinics. Operations.

Pre covid I spoiled myself with nice vacations but that’s sort of gone by the wayside.

Although planning maybe a several week road trip in the US this summer. Still tentative.

My wife asked me to take her someplace expensive.

So I took her to the gas station.

Mike White gave a great performance against the Bengals. Third string, practice squad guy. Of course he also has an O line that gave him time to work

Been retired for 13+ years. Had a bump in the road in 2012, but shed the 200 pounds of dead weight and been smooth sailing ever since.

She's still chasing a married man, going on ten years now. Still doesn't get that men who cheat on their wives for 10 years don't marry their mistresses. Damn shame too. They deserve each other.

In Christmas 2007 we were shopping for towns in Mexico to move to

Really? Was your son already born at the time? Why Mexico?

I always thought she was garbage. If it makes you feel better. Maybe it makes me feel better to say that.

Been fully retired now going on more than a year and a half. As far as I’m concerned retirement is highly underrated.

Never bored, too busy.

Everyone I spoke to said, "Do it as soon as you can."

I probably waited about 6 months too long.

He wasn’t born until 2009. Back in 07 we hadn’t even decided to have one yet, and it seemed like we wouldn’t.

I like Mexico, lived there 2 years in the 90s.
