Time Flies!
Can't believe how busy I've been since retiring on August 31st.
Moved to Manila on September 8th (joining my wife who'd started work there in mid July). Spent the last 3 months organizing our new house, coordinating the move of our furniture and goods, buying stuff, arranging stuff (utilities, services, cars, insurance), a couple of days of consulting, long weekends in Singapore and Hong Kong, back in the US for two weeks of weddings and visits in October, recertifying as a diver, renting a share in a beach house, weekends snorkellng and diving on idyllic shores, reading dozen's of books, buying dozens of videos (at $.75 a pop)....etc.,, etc. etc.... May even ramp up the consulting a bit next year (but no more than half time, so I can stay in my newly found "lucky buggers" club (for non-working spouses).
Pretty sweet, so far!
