Welcome! After 6 months of "decompression" from the MegaCorp world, I can honestly say it was the best decision I ever made. Don't take on too much too soon - I did and that's the only part I regret so far. Enjoy!

Just updating this thread to say it is a done deal. Friday was my last day - left the building as an employee for the last time about 10:15 Friday morning. They had a dinner for me Thursday night which was very nice. DW had balloons in the driveway and a fresh-baked apple pie in the kitchen when I got home. What could be better than that!

Sounds perfect, just add a glass of skim milk and you're all set. Good luck!

Congrats! You will not regret it, once you get used to it. RE kind of grows on a person.
I was married the same year as you, 1977. Wow, it's been a long time.
Welcome to the forum, I am a relative newbie myself, having lurked for over a year before introducing myself a few months ago ( when I finally retired ).
