About 54 years ago I started mowing lawns for a couple bucks, then went to work full time when I turned 16. A short time later I was in the Navy and retired in 1993 after 20 years. Another 17 years in the private sector and my second retirement in 2011. I went back to work yet again and the last 8 years I've worked in the public sector for a municipality. 

I turned 66 in February and, although my wife is considerably younger and I had in my mind I'd work until I was 70, the reality is I wasn't enjoying the work anymore. We're set financially and we decided I can do what I want on my terms and my time. We've got an offer on our place in Mexico and decided we can travel whenever we want, wherever we want and rent whatever we want. We'll keep our current home as the starting place for all our upcoming adventures.

I've got an idea for my own gig and will have that plan in place by late winter, and I'll work on that until the wife retires.

I'd like to go traveling with our daughter.  She'll be 23. In my mind she's going to want to hang out with me at that age

Yea, I want to buy pimped out Mercedes Sprinter and travel.  I’m almost certain my kids will want no part of me.  Maybe hang out 2-3 times a year.

I have permission to retire from my wife and my financial advisor but not quite ready. I don't know what I would do with my time.

I'm already busier and more active now, and feel a whole lot healthier and happier. You'd be surprised. As soon as it became public I was retiring, I was approached by several people wanting me to come and do some things with them-

I already have a volunteer gig with the VA and DAV driving disabled vets to the VA for their appointments. That's typically one full day a week.

      Chiefs vs Panthers

      By strato · Posted

      For the silly people that worship her it will be that.  The Coleman 'legend' thing, they did that with another fairly average player that was here and I sort of mocked or questioned the 'legend' status. Instantly caught crap for insulting someone's favorite Panther. So okay, Kurt Coleman is a Legend.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      You allow him to compete--you all are talking as if I am proposing making him the starter. Give him a new coach, new weapons, good OL, etc. and see what happens. You are saying, "Well Damn.  It did not work for 3 guys..."  Right now, our C is injured, we lost our top 2 WRs.  Better question:  If you need a QB, Why would you not take a chance on bringing in a QB who was a former first rounder, a good arm, intelligence, mobility, youth, etc.  and see how he does out of NY--with a better OL, better running game, better receivers.  I am not saying give him a 10-year contract, I am saying give him a chance. You act like there is no improvement on offense here--it was a 2 year process, and next year is year 2.  To me, how can you sit there with Bryce and an opportunity to sign a veteran QB on the cheap comes available and you say--"Not us. We're good.  We are waiting for Patrick Mahommes."  Jone's problem is obviously mental--and he has little support.  Why is this so frigging hard to comprehend.  It is called "bottom fishing" and it is better than sitting in the boat.

      Predictions for Brooks debut

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      I think we're going to fall from behind quite early and be forced to abandon the run game.  3 rushes -2 yards 1 catch -10 yards
