This has been a big year

We've been to Jamaica twice, France, England, the Bay of Fundy, and more. I retired in June, only to become a contractor for a few days a week to rescue another project. I agonized over retirement, supported well by E, only to realize it was a non-issue. Retirement is no longer a cliff. It is a lifestyle change, working as asked and doing my own projects. Thank goodness we have been preparing for this for so long.

We'll go to Antigua and Jamaica in January. We'll stay in Jamaica for a couple of months, then come back at tax time. We may then go back to France. If we don't go to France, we'll probably drive across Canada to Alaska, returning through the northern states.

Merry Christmas - 2007

Christmas dinner with one daughter. Back in the USA, but not for long. We'll spend 10 days in Antigua this January, then on to Jamaica for a couple of months. Partially retired last June; spending a little time consulting for the same outfit. I want to return to Paris to work a bit with the group at SPLims.
