I think my computer is talking to me. I just got a pop-up that said, Think about retirement.That must be some kind of sign, don't you think? I took some time off work today to play golf with my friends. Let me just say this; I suck at golf. If I don't play for like a year, I will play pretty good, for me anyway, the first time I play. I will shoot like 90, not bad for your garden-variety hacker. The second time out, that would be today, I just stink. Anyway, my friend owns a chain of restaurants and some other stuff. I'm not completely sure what his average work day involves, but I can tell you it leaves time for plenty of golf and bowling. As I was telling him today, I think I can be retired or I can keep working and maintain my lesiure activities. I don't think I can do both, at least not yet. My other friend in our group today is a painter at a manufacturing plant. He works three twelve-hour days a week. That would be okay, except for the twelve-hour day part. I've been thinnking that I should tell my boss that I want to work four days per week. I'm pretty sure I know the answer to that though. Anyway, always the short-term thinker, I'm glad to be off work tomorrow. Merle. Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true.
