No, not my last day on the Forum, silly. :)  This is my last day on the job I've held for 34 years. ;D 8) ;D 8) ;D 8)  I start final vacation at 5pm today, and will not be back.  I have wondered many times just what this day would feel like, and it feels better than I ever imagined!

The boss called me before I left the house this morning and told me not to go to the office. He wanted me to meet him at Jim n Milts restaurant for breakfast. Finally got to the office at 10:30, and had to meet some more folks for lunch at 11:30. Have spent the rest of the day shaking some hands and getting some hugs. What a great day! 8)

Congratulations DanG.  You'll like it.  Been there for 7 years and it's Grrrrreeaaaaaatttt!!!!  I wouldn't have it any other way. Do what you want when you want.  Just one word of advice: Be prepared to say NO.  You'll have that opportunity a lot. Good luck and enjoy.
