I’ve heard that from a few people I know. I hope I get to sleep in once in awhile…

You also have a pair of four-legged children to keep you occupied.
The difference you’ll play catch i the morning then maybe go back home and relax or similar.
So June 30 2017 eh?

Good for you, and you have tme to plan for the event, and wind down your employment activities.

Given the closeness of your soon to be former employment, it shall not be too dofficult to return to see former fellow employees, if you so wish.
As to Saints Cafe, it was nothing against the establishment rather the regular attendence there you may wish to change.. And same thing; what happens if it were to close?

BTW aside from the gifted Nikon what other camera gear do you still own and use?

I am using two, yes two ancient (8 megapixel) Canon AA battery powered point and shoots for the walk around shots and my Nikon D750 for everything else.
The Nikon has a long-discontinued 24-105 Nikkor zoom and for those distant shots,, a 80-200/f4 Nikkor zoom.
Was gifted from a deceased friend’s estate a 20 mm f2.8
(I had the choice on what i wanted from a vast collection). The D750 does all I need a big camera for and the small AA powered devices will keep me going for a bit, the latter pawn shop acquisitions.

Good for you Steve! Ride baby Ride!

I agree with Frank. We all have X number of days left and personally I’d rather be out riding than working and as you wrote, not thinking about much in the least. My best!

I’ve just read all of the following comments and am pleased to find that you’ve bitten the bullet and named the day, Steve. June will be here before you know it.
Come on in! The water’s lovely!

I spent a lot of time calculating expenses and such to make sure I’m comfortable with the potential income. Unless my math is way off we should be comfortable into our 90s without having to work anymore. And I plan to do some other work in retirement that should yield some additional monies.

Adventure!

Good for you!

I jumped!

Frank, what you describe is not unlike what I have been experiencing. I just feel I want something different now. If I was still working at 81 I would be pushing 63 years. Man….

If you walk away from teaching on the college campus you’ll find something else to keep your fires burning I have no doubt. But I understand the weight of the choice…
