Retirement

Well, it's almost my birthday. And, of course, the older I get, the more I start to think about our retirement options. When Nat & I retire we don't want to just stop working; rather, we'd like to keep busy like our parents are now. We've joked about moving to the Northeastern area of this country. It's a beautiful mountainous area where the people are as varied as the landscape is. In the pictures below, you'll see the vision I have for us in about 20 years.

Natalie will continue to do the bulk of the work.


I will continue to aspire to be a man "out-standing" in my field.

In the immediate future, three of my friends and I are preparing to take a road trip to the South Coast this weekend. We'll be golfing. And since there are few golf courses here, the cost is extraordinarily high. (Back in Houston, prices had actually dropped over the last few years because of a glut of options. Man, I love a free market system.) Anyway, due to the relatively high price of the golf, the guys and I have decided to stay at a "pansiyon" where a bed and breakfast costs about $10/night. We've done this for the last four years and we play each day until we drop. We're planning on playing upto 45 holes a day both of the day's that we're there. I hope to update while I'm there. Apparently, the beds don't have boxsprings but they do have wireless.
