Tomorrow afternoon we are off to Los Vegas. It’s been years since we last visited. Actually it’s been several years since we flew anywhere. The last was a trip to Florida to visit my Mom. Vegas is not really a place I would choose, but there just happens to be a owners group meeting that I need to attend. So, since Sandy likes the casino’s, we are making this business trip a vacation. She can visit all the casino’s, shops and play some slots while I attend my meetings. In the evening we can enjoy some good meals and do some people watching. I’m just not a gambler… I would rather spend the money on some new gadget or computer thing.
Last week I reached a major milestone. I signed up for Medicare. It was scary… it started to make me think that I will really retire some day. It’s not a day I look forward to.The thought of that final walk out of my building, and the knowing I will never return is to terrifying to put into words. I like working, the interaction with people, the teamwork, and the purpose. Most of all its the purpose. When one retires what is the purpose? Don’t have any answers, just know that retirement is coming…
