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.

Do that, Art. We'll be here till 12/11 and then we'll be back from 1/16 to 1/26.

We have a second bedroom for you.

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.

Amazing. You are an inspiration.

Thanks for sharing.

I'd say, I hope you are well.....but clearly your doing great!!!!

I didn't intend this to be an inspiration, Seth. I was just sitting here enjoying myself and decided to post about it. Boca is where we come to veg out. Our greatest pleasure is to sit on the balcony and read, nap, or do nothing.

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.

Very nice view, 20 years to go here and hoping to do the same one day

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.

FTX I · 5 December 2014, 05:26 AM

Huge congrats!

johnbeth · 5 December 2014, 05:37 AM

Enjoy Ed! My motto is work hard, play harder!

Time to enjoy the fruits of your hard work. That is what all of us want to achieve and be able to do.

Have fun my friend!

Enjoy the fruit of your labor Ed.

Rock · 5 December 2014, 11:51 AM

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.

sleddog · 5 December 2014, 12:01 PM

A great view Ed, ad what a fantastic way to pass a little time.... Enjoy!

skprd13 · 5 December 2014, 01:48 PM

Congrats Ed! Hard work pays off in the end! Enjoy your days you earned it.
