Rich, I know exactly what you mean about retirement. I retired as soon as I was eligible, even though I was offered promotions if I stayed. My employees couldn't believe I was going, but I told them there would come a time when a person will give all that they own for just one more day with their loved ones. Sue and I didn't take a vacation together in over 40 years, due to my animals and reptiles. My corns don't take much daily care, except during egg laying, but I see Sue eyeing the racks and doing a quick calculation, so I know I have too many at times. So I do a quick fire sale and cut back. But you know how it is, I need that one for a future project, etc. Luckily for us, my son now lives two miles away, and he knows more about snakes than I do, and can care for them if we go on vacation. If you ever miss working, just take a cup of coffee and a chair out to the bamboo grove with Connie and it will quickly pass. LOL.
