NO such thing as retirement Ray. That's just code for leaving your day job and freeing up your time to do what you please. I suspect you will be busier than ever now. So when are you coming up to Toronto?

That is wonderful Ray, I hope you enjoy your retirement by enjoying your other hobbies and interests. I always wanted to retire at 40, better happen this year.

Back in the early 90's my dad took advantage of an early retirement program that John Deere offered. He was one of their Sr Buyers for 25+years. He fishes a lot, plays a lot of golf, and meets up at the grocery store deli each morning for breakfast to talk to the other retirees.

Funny thing is he actually went back for a few years through a contractor service as they could not run the place. The good thing about that is he could tell them to shove it anytime he wanted.

Hmmm...I always thought golfing and enjoying your gorgeous home theater was your profession, and that your actual "job" was something you did in your spare time. I didn't realize it was the other way around! Congratulations, Ray!

Great to hear Ray. More time for golf during the 3 month warm season up there in Rochester, and for home theather during the other 9! Good thing you have your man cave all setup down in the basement. I have a feeling you'll be spending a lot of time there.

Congratulations, Ray!

A shudder was heard from short par-5's throughout the Northeast!

Enjoy, Dude!

Congrats Ray! I've been with Xerox for nearly 23 years, and I can't WAIT to retire! What was your position?

Horizontal, on the office sofa, as much possible.

Sorry for the delay in responding; I played in the first day of our senior club championship today. I am punishing the driver by putting it in the dark basement by itself and spent most of the day verbally abusing the putter. My chances for tomorrow don't look good. But hey - I don't have to go to work anymore, so who cares!!!

BTW - thanks for all the nice comments. Left after 28 1/2 years (2 of them effective) and spent the last 20 years negotiating contracts with our major account customers. I've had all I need - believe me.

Immediate plans lead me to the golf course, but the comments above about doing what I like to do are pretty accurate, including hanging out with you hooligans a bit more.

John - coming to Roch anytime soon?

Jack - you owe me an email (read my last one to you).
