rder, but wish I retired earlier, was tired of screwing the pooch at the office, and I know now that the money really wasn't worth all the effort.
Hope I can instill that on the rest of my family, that there is more to enjoying life than pushing for the next day of struggle, and there is more to be gleaned from a lot of laughs and friendship,enjoyable work; sometimes it's hard; because that's what it takes.; something you enjoy rather than a push for the dollar. Hope I'm not too late! Hey turn off the lights in the room if your not in there! We don't need Cap & Trade just some common sense! My wife Cindy, of 27 years, passed away in 2013 and so I sold the homestead and moved to Washington,Utah. Really a Big Sky area, Yes it's the desert and hot, but there are sites to see, things to do! Here is a slower pace,quiet and all, yet so many activities to keep one occupied. Las Vegas is a hour or so away for those with itchy fingers, and money to lose! Not for me, but lots of nightlife for sure. Ever care to chat my home number is 435 627 0038. Hope the best for all, Rick
