I am approaching your state, but just can't hang it all up yet. 1.5 days per week keeps the beer and dog food around. Also wife and I take care of our 6 month old grandson 3 days per week. Really would hate to go back to 5 days per week though.

Guess we have lived long enough to enjoy some of the fruits of our labor.

Right. Wife keeps tellling me that and no more than one year. Will be 70 then, if I live so long. Working really cuts into Volvo learning and fun.
