About a month ago I said I might quietly drop off the list. I'm still here, enjoying my 3rd week of retirement. I do find that I read less posts, especially if I don't sign on till noon or later and have 30 or 40 in my inbox. Since I probably won't work anymore, at least as a systems programmer, the more technical discussions are less interesting than they used to be.

I like retirement so far. I usually don't sent my alarm. There are some drawbacks though. Today I had to go out and shovel snow for an hour or so. When I lived in Dubuque during the week, I didn't have to worry about that, and my wife had enough shoveled to make the job a lot less when I came home on the weekend. Good thing I have a big snowblower.
