When I retired in September one of my parting comments to a cow-orker was “I’m taking the rest of the year off!” Not knowing my personal situation they seemed perplexed by this familiar but unseasonable comment.

On further consideration I now think I’ll take the rest of 2024 off as well. So now I know what to say right after we finish the countdown and shout “Happy New Year!” 😁 🤪

Thanks for the inspiration.
