I'm Officially Retired!
Hi All,
Today was my last day of w*ork. I cleared out my office, went to lunch with a couple of good friends and took one last commute home on the Capital Beltway. I am so glad I found this group! Even though I was pretty sure I was set to retire and had all my bases covered, you confirmed this and put my mind at ease. I also received good advice on how to handle the psychological aspects of retirement after having worked about 35 years. Last but not least, I got some good comic diversions when I needed it most (particularly exchanging goofy animal pics with CFB). Thanks again everyone. I look forward to learning much more from all of you in the future.

Congratulations
Not having to take the Beltway at rush hour should be a big plus.

Congrats! I have to ask the question that everyone asks - "how are you going to keep from getting bored?"

Your first real challenge - figuring out how to wipe that "I don't have to go to work again - ever!" grin off your face. Hint: It takes quite a while, so don't try to rush it.
