Congratulations Ken! Long career for both you and your wife, some time for yourselves well-merited I'm sure! Good luck on the hearing surgery.

It’s only work if somebody makes you do it.
A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do.
Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side and it binds the universe together.
Brian,
I don't think I'll have to apply for that job this month. Next month however, reality may set in and I may be there placing an application.

So much to learn, so little time.....

Enjoy your retirement, Ken, it is well deserved!
Well that is great, I am sure you will have a lot of fun and now you will have the time to come back to Dallas.
I am thinking maybe this fall, it could be sooner, I got a letter from the Scooter Store today so that means I must be getting old.
Congratulations to you and your wife. Now you have lots of time to enjoy each others company. Get plenty of exercise, eat healthy, take care of yourselves....now there is no competition from jobs for your time, so enjoy it!!!
Hope you do well. Maybe like me you will get so busy in the shop and around the house you will wonder how you ever found time to go to work.
Good luck on the ear. One of my wife's children by her first marriage had ear problems that required surgery. Two of our grandchildren have had to have tubes put in their ears. Jacob is about five and it was just recently that it was discovered that he had a hearing problem in kindergarten. He had surgery yesterday.

Congratulations Ken,
Good luck with your honeydo list, you know that the list never retires
Try to find the time to enjoy your retirement whenever you can.

Enjoy your retirement! You will soon wonder when you ever had time for work.
I'm excited for you on both the retirement and the coclear implant! I hope you and Sharon don't have to go through an adjustment period like my parents. Both always worked and when they retired they discovered it was a little rough being in the same house all the time. Dad didn't have a hobby and a workshop like you though! Can't want to see more pictures of Thing 1 and Thing 2 with the grandparents! Enjoy!

I had a guardian angel at one time, but my little devil got him drunk, tattooed, and left him penniless at a strip club. I have not had another angel assigned to me yet.

Belinda....very perceptive of you. We are going to be there for their 1st birthday party!
Sharon has a love of palm trees. At her surprise luncheon at school, they had a beachwear theme and the entire staff wore very conservative beachwear...beach bum..type clothing that day. It slid right over her head and she didn't have a clue. I was asked to speak at the luncheon and you should have heard the gasps in the room when I repeated that often told story of our meeting and short engagement. Then I proceeded to relay the fact that she was shy, timid and quiet when she went to work there 25 years ago and that she had none of those problems today thanks to the self confidence instilled in her by the staff. I thanked them for enriching our lives as a result of their relationship with Sharon.
In closing, I offered to add to the "beach" theme of the dinner and take her to Fiji, Tahiti, the Cook Islands.....
She turned me down.
After further discussion this morning.....1/30/2011 I was told to correct my own post. She said the reason she turned me down was she wanted me to have improved my hearing first so that I could enjoy the trip more.....

Ken,
Congratulations to you and your wife. The LOML also spent many, many years as a Special Ed. teacher. Those who dedicate their careers to that field are very special people!
I always enjoy anything you post, and will generally open any post of yours immediately. Consequently, I sorta think I know you, and I will eagerly look forward to lots more of your reasoned and knowledgeably articulated contributions.
Enjoy, my friend. You deserve it!
