Enjoying Life
I'm sitting here on my 17th floor balcony overlooking the ocean and the world just enjoying myself. After 44 years in the legal business, I gave it all up almost a year ago and I'm having the time of my life, travelling, going to theater, operas, concerts, etc.
Here's what I'm looking at now.

More like buying in when we thought the housing market couldn't go any higher, Marc. But it did. And even with the recession, we would still make out like a bandit if we ever decide to sell.

I used to say that our adventure was to go out and buy a light bulb. Then we would have to come home and rest from all that activity. Now we don't even do that. We just sit here and rest.

Never the less, it is inspirational. A lifetime of hard work that produces a lovely retirement where you can enjoy life and consider going out for light bulbs an adventure. Sitting and resting is potentially my favorite thing. Kudos to you.

Thanks for that kind offer, Ken, but I think I'll keep the sunshine here, at least till we have to go back to DC next Thursday night.

Absolutely nothing like an apartment on the beach.
The many different 'moods' of the coast, sunny, stormy, overcast, gusty and the smell of the ocean to clear the head. Wouldn't want to live there but as a 'getaway' it can't be beat.
