Congratulations to you who have retired and are enjoying it! Thank you for the words of wisdom, I shall study them and proceed with care.

I think the Dr. Seuss children’s book titled, Oh the Places You’ll Go! is very close to my soul. Over the years when I’d see an interesting place, usually because of history or scenery, or adventure, I’d put a pin in my map and label it. My map looks like this now (North America, for example; then CONUS; then the southwest USA).

So many places to go, so little time!
