    Prime Rib Roast

    Darn Clients

    I figured Real Estate would be a good part time gig in retirement. So far it's been great but this morning I have to go show a condo at 8:00am. This has been the first time in several years I had to set my alarm clock.:( If this keeps up it might start feeling like a job. :nonono:
