Guess what I'm about to do...

Well, in just 5-6 months I'll begin the next chapter(s) of what's left of my life. To prepare, my brother has been kind enough to recommend a couple of books. One by Max Lucado (a fellow Mighty Mustang from Andrews, TX) and another fellow whose name I forget. However, the title of this other fellow's book is the 4 Hour Work Week. I'm about half way through the book, and it has made me question why I've delayed my retirement as long as I have. I think he refers to this delay as deferring happiness. I don't have any explanations...maybe a feeling that I would run out of money, or maybe simply a fear of the unknown. Whatever the reason, I'm starting to dream a little about my post corporation life. And I am excited. I've already been doing plenty of dreaming about what the remaining chapter(s) might be like. And as soon as I pare them down to just a few, maybe I can start a coherent blog. Until then, if you're reading this we're probably related and I would appreciate all positive feedback you have to offer. Otherwise, please follow some advice from a previous generation...'If you don't have anything nice to say, wait until you do before you start talking (writing)'.
