Hey Nords You're Famous...

[bssc]

YUP That is moi, baking pies with both of my younguns! The interview was painless, the cooking a riot (roast chicken and apple pies) and the pics were fun. I was waiting to see the hard copy but the online works!

I know someone famous now. DW was impressed too.

Nice article, Nords.

Not even sure where to begin with this one. Fortunately i'm pre-coffee...

This is just great! Now I know some of the people I talk on this board are real!!! ;-)

Billy and Akaisha, ESRBob, Nords, OAP, and Crazy Connie. Anyone else?

 

[REWahoo]

Anyone else?

I'm real. Really, I am.

 

[bbbamI]

I'm not...just a "fig" of your imagination.

Retired at 50 - Doug Nordman (5) - FORTUNE

Congratulations Nords. They seemed to do a good job. And of the 5 profiles, yours is certainly the most interesting.

You must be getting smarter in ER. I notice your forehead is larger.

Nords! You're cute!



guess retiring can give one a "glow" - only glow i ever had was supposedly during pregnancy - but i only felt bloated...he he

I resemble that remark... O0

I'm just happy that it's grown faster down the back than it's receded in the front. I'll bet people think the photographer was using a flash instead of the [-]glare[/-] reflected sunlight...

With a few reptilian add-ons, I'd make a good Klingon...

Sounds like a plan. Thanks

Kudos, connie!

Great pics and article. It's especially inspirational given that you are single, with kids and yet able to swing ER.

[Alex]

Nords and Connie- congratulations on the terrific profiles.

PS- You both look very happy in your photos!

 

[crazy connie]

Yes, great job connie! Keep it rolling!!!

Please mail apple pie

Apple pie or other flavors (I found fresh rhubarb at the produce store this week!!!) can be available with a fresh pot of coffee anytime you want to swing by!

So when does the Surfer Dude/Pie Lady Investment Newsletter get launched?

Hey don't let the leverage slip away...it's only 15 minutes!

 

[Moemg]

Congratulations Nords & Connie ! I can't wait to read the whole article.

 

[Sam]

I thought that was the whole article.

 

[Nords]

I thought that was the whole article.

Yep, that's-that's-that's all folks...

I'm baffled by the economics of journalism. I suspect I'm baffled because there really isn't any.

Newsletter?....that might make a good comic book title...congrats Connie and Nords....

The economics of journalism are simple -- leave plenty of room for advertisements!

Seriously though, nice profile article Nords. You look relaxed and happy, as I'm sure five years of retirement would cause you to be. Personally, I'd like to retire around 41, or at least do something with my time that would allow me full and complete control over my life. My wife, on the other hand, will probably never retire, as she loves being...drum roll please...a financial planner. She's actually quite good at it, and would like to go independent (and therefore fee/hourly-based) in a few years once we have kids. Now before any of you start making jokes at her expense, she's had plenty of opportunities (and been pushed by her employers) to maximize fees at the expense of her clients. She has refused, and even threatened to quit (and take her clients with her) if she was ever pressured to do so again. I'm proud of her. Me? I'm a lawyer and will do anything for a buck.

Apologies for the detour. Let's hear it for a (long) board celebrity!

Rumor has it Spielberg is interested in doing the screenplay. Any truth to that, Nords?
