Wow, i feel the same as you. I retired 7 years ago also. It truly feels like 2 lives! I still have frequent dreams of my former job, not nightmares though. Some good and some not so good,lol.
We have had our antenna strapped to our chimney since we built our house 27 years ago. We replaced it once with a new one. We live about 25-30 miles south of Washington DC, and we are on a hill. So we get great reception.
Saw Brian Setzer at Foxwood Casino last Friday. Great show, and i liked the venue. And a lot of dinner and shopping options at Foxwood also. Nice place.
I worked at Ginos, they were a burger place, but also sold Kentucky Fried Chicken before they had stand alone restaurants. I cooked the chicken. Fun times,lol.
