...my employment. After considerable thought and reasoning, I had announced to my company I was retiring. 30 years in this business 30 years in a previous business, that's 60 years, I started when I was 9 years old working, do the math. :) It was emotional to say the least, I received a plaque of appreciation from my company and in 2 more hours from this posting I will be entering the next phase of my life, although at this time I have no idea where it will lead other than wife and I are leaving California and moving back to Ohio to be with family. We have been in CA for the 30 years of my second career. It's been a great ride. but time to move on!

Congratulations, Vinny. May you have a happy and healthy retirement. When I retired, not one member of my family said anything. Neither did my friends.

What a wonderful “question”. It filled my otherwise melancholy heart with happiness. Good for you! You’ll love retirement…………..

Been a month and a half now. Really enjoying the thought of retiring but my work load has increased 500% with getting everything ready for the cross country move to Ohio. Some people say I am nuts for making this move due to weather but nuts or not, that's where our families live and we gotta go be nuts with them.
Packing and arranging to have everything moved is a nightmare with looking for the right company to move your furniture, then looking for the right company to move your car. We have 2 but we are going to drive one across. Special insurance too! Very expensive. I thought several times of dumping everything and buying new in Ohio but we have so many collectables that it makes no sense. However, we are selling lots of large items and stuff we haven't seen or used in a year or so has been sold through craigs list, ebay or moving sales. We have really 'thinned out the herd'. I don't have as much time to spend here and this is why.
