As expected, Friday was my final day at work. Since the start of Covid, most folks have been working exclusively from home. About 40 co-workers came into the office for a surprise send-off. It was great! Now I am just waiting for a sense of reality to settle in...

I have been openly talking about retirement for years. This is not unusual at my company. Because of a generous and successful ESOP, virtually everyone with 25 or more years of service is well positioned to retire. Many of my co-workers retired between 50 and 55. Heck, I can tell you the...

I mostly lurk on these boards - but this thread is in my wheelhouse and I couldn't resist. I have been playing board games since my childhood - with little letup. I currently own around 900 games. One of my primary goals for retirement is to free up more time for board games! I play...
