I have to say I do not "fear" anything.
Well with the possible exception of having to work with stupid people on a daily basis.
Aaaargh too late.....
The only cure that I know is retirement.

somehow I've got the song toto Africa stuck in my head. " I hear the drums echoing tonight "
In the last year, especially the last few months, I've started to hear the drumbeat...

I grew up with hopes of a utopian society, heavily influence by TV shows like Star Trek an science fiction novels. Unfortunately, a unified planet Terra most likely won't happen in my time. Had I been a David Biwman, from 2001: A Space Odyessey, I could only hope for a better future.

I've been retired 10 years now, oh my! Anyway, once I decided that I was going to retire in a year, it was fun knowing in my mind that I was essentially retired, but no one else knew, except my wife. Retirement time has really flown by.

I pay no attention to doom and gloom predictions. The glass is 1/2 full and in less than a New York minute it will be full.

I fear what I will do in the winter when I retire. I've got the other three seasons covered but winter could be rough.


BTW, 457 days until retirement.
