Yeah. No more work grind. No more dealing with clueless clients(mostly). I let underlings do the scut work.
Bought my first set of golf clubs and I am going to annoy the pricks on the green.

Fuck you all.
Why are you so mad for someone retiring (i assume) young? :lol:
With those clubs you won't be annoying anyone on the green. In the neighborhoods next to the fairways maybe, but not the greens. :P
(I'm sure they're fine. If you do ever replace them though, you might want to look into keeping the shaft that's on your driver there. That's like $100 of the price by itself. Assuming the flex is good for you, etc)
Edit: I need to go watch Caddyshack now.

It's the American dream. :cool:

Nice. Might want to take a lesson or two, or else set aside vast amounts of money to cover lost golf balls. :P
I find golf to be pretty fun. Of course, when I go, the golf course is basically a big, grassy outdoor bar, and my shots go from "hey not bad" to "hahaha I think that one went over the trees onto the highway over there fuck it here goes another one" as the day goes on. At least I've only wrecked one cart, and that wasn't too bad. I
have teed off in the wrong direction, along with my buddies who were with me at the time, despite wondering why the houses seemed so close and while trying to figure out where the fairway was (right behind us :face:) without using any of the little maps provided. I can't wait until retirement.
Congratulations, man.
:cheers: Congratulations. Enjoy real life.

Wow, strange to be able to retire so early. Good for you though, get to actually be retired at an age where you can still enjoy it.

I can't think of any paid work that I can do after my retirement. It would be ideal if I can find a part-time job or something that I can do as a hobby and get paid in the process, even if the pay isn't much. That is perhaps too much to ask and I can't really think of anything.

My job was in SCM, then quit that after winning a Pyrrhic victory in a power struggle in a company I won't name. Then I opened up a consulting bidness, while the wife opened up an accounting bidness. In the same office.

An already successful restaurant for sale is usually (a) over-valued, or (b) a scam. I can also see that small business ownership demands even more time from me, although I may drum up enough incentive to do it.

It didn't help I was wearing a Miro Satan Bruins jersey on the course. It'll be a cold day in hell before I dress like a golf 'tard. And yes, I was hoping somebody would say something.

BACK TO THE FIELDS, SCUM!
Thank God.
You only post from work, right?
I am preparing for the transition to a languish-free existence. :)
You've been promising us that for years, yet you never follow through on it.

I bought some gold at @ ~1500 or so, but I've never been a huge fan of precious metals. I'm not Raz irrational about gold, but that bubble will burst eventually.

I'm still looking at a summer Normandy home but internet house shopping sucks. it is either a wrecked farmhouse from 1820 or something for hobbits.

My wife loves it.
I like it too, decent climate, good food and pleasant countryside. You should maybe wait to see if the Euro collapses before buying, might be some bargains a year or two down the line.

I assume you are talking about west Plano. Personally, I find it hopelessly flat, pretentious, and boring. :P East Plano is fast becoming more interesting, though its also much lower rent.

Old downtown Plano is developing some character, and I don't find east Plano so objectionable as far as sprawl goes... for DFW. I'd prefer something outside the Metroplex, though.
Christ, Ed...you want to wear a cowboy hat, look at Flagstaff, AZ and some areas north. At the foot of the Rockies, no ball sweat in the summer, nice and temperate, and plenty of winter stuff to do during that season.
Flagstaff is nice. High enough up so that it doesn't suck in summer that's for sure.

I love it out there, nice and green and cool, with plenty of outdoorsy shit to do; definitely in my Top 5 on my Where To Live If I Ever Make It Big, And It's Close Enough To Hollywood To Discuss The Options On My Books list.
So, I decided to get the Christmas tree and shit down from the attic in preparation for its post Halloween erection. Sadly though, my attempt to put the sting of lights away last year in an orderly fashion has failed and I have two giant balls of tangled up lights.

I'd like to put it up around the first week-end of November but my girlfriend won't let me so I usually put it up the first week of December & I take it down sometime before February.

Also, if you're going to go to the trouble of spending hours decorating your house, why the fuck would you want to enjoy the decorations for a day before spending hours tearing them down?
Whoa, whole house? Pass. One tree, that is it.
Well, I meant like, living room. The principle still applies, but serious Christmas decorations are kind of alien to me; it's an artifact of growing up in a house two linear acres from the road, I guess. :P
I never did see the thrill about throwing lights on the outside. I'm not setting up a landing strip for aircraft, so a beacon ain't needed.
Then there are the trash that leave their lights up all year.
Tree is: Up.
The look on the kids faces was worth the hour of profanity and death threats.
The tree is up on the 1st of November?
Interesting.
When I retire, I hope it will be to a rad beach house on the Oregon or Washington coast (Long Beach is nice), or possibly Vancouver BC.
I hope to never have to put up a fucking Christmas tree after I am retired.
