We have been watching a lot of Letterkenny lately. Upon further reflection I believe we are on our third round through all the seasons. Squirely Dan tends to say to people “… and that’s what I appreciates about you” (He likes to add S to the end of many things that you may not thinkContinue reading “I Appreciates That About Them”

2023 Intentions: Retire
I did it. On February 11th, I retired, or semi-retired. I am still not sure what to call it. I am not working for income or actively seeking employment at this time.
