I hate to hijack Cemar's thread, but...

HD, I really don't know what I'll do when D15 goes off to college, but probably more of the same things I'm doing now. By the Fall of 2010 I'll be 54 and we will have been married for 35 years. I just don't see me doing something radical like moving out. My GAL is going fine. I'm active in the Sons of Confederate Veterans, I've gotten in with a great riding group in the Two-Wheeled Texans, I shoot in the skeet leagues when I can fit it in, they've promised not to kick me out of the band boosters when D15 graduates... I stay busy. Since we know that W will never let us afford for me to retire, I'll just keep working and keep up my GAL activities.

Lou, I meant, "If I remember correctly." It has been a while you know.

Lil, thanks for the pat on the back. I can even feel it now that the big bag of rocks isn't hanging there. (You do remember your bag of rocks story don't you?) I've missed all of you too. The people here are a very special group of friends. I've never seen another board quite like this one.

IHJ/NJ, I don't know that I can say it's good to be back, but it is nice to hear from all of you. Like I told Lil, this is a very special place.

BF, new bike. I downsized to an '06 BMW F650 Dakar and I'm having more fun than I've had in years.
