Though I will miss seeing your posts, I can attest to the benefits of having mom home with the family; my wife "retired" from her teaching job 11 years ago when our second was born, and is just now getting back to teaching by subbing a day here and there. I say retired with tongue-in-cheek because she works harder as mom than when she was just teaching. A short day is 14h. We have 15, 11, and 5 at home and all are on honor roll. The eldest is a Life Scout working on Eagle, and 11 is changing rank faster than his brother did. My wife is Committee Chair for the Boy Scout Troop as well as Roundtable Chair for the local Cub Scouts - of which we have none anymore. I'd like to think to think I had something to do with their success, other than the obvious, but it's all her.
Enjoy your time with the family because it goes by in a blink. Best of luck on your new endeavor!
Scott

ditto to all the aforementioned comments of eloquence(i have a broken knuckle and cannot type my usual ten pager) All the best Amie and yes, we do plan on making another visit to the factory hopefully in the near future. Perhaps you could time your visit to the factory at the same time, since it would be expected that you will no longer greet us at the door. Will James now provide the big first smile and free perfume samples?

I think Amie should make an appearance as Special Guest Moderator on certain festive days.

I think Amie should make an appearance as Special Guest Moderator on certain festive days. Like Fridays, Hump day (Wednesdays), Grump days (Monday) and the nothing-better-to-do-but-post-in-forums Sundays. But that's it. That's all i would ask for.

Chess Though, you did miss lunch reports, but I guess thats a special event. Enjoy your time with the family because it goes by in a blink. That about says it all. It seems like just yesterday that my daughter was born, yet she is only 2 years away from higher education.

Bye Amie,
Glad to hear you will be able to spend more time with your real family but know that your virtual family will miss you.
Cheers, Dean

Really enjoyed your contributions to the board over the years Amie, and will miss you.

While I am most certain I will be checking in, I won't be arranging auditions or the like - James will be taking care of all of those things, and can be reached via PM or email. Here's hoping you really do check in... and often. Congratulations on what I'm calling your retirement! Naturally, you'll have to stop by just to update us on your evolving golf game.
