    Congratulations Chunk!!!

    Hey Chunk, I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate you on your retirement! So is it official yet? Just wanted to wish you the best in whatever it is you choose to do with the free time you will be having. I bet I can guess what at lease some of that time will be spent on. Anyway, good luck and best wishes!!!!

    Re: Congratulations Chunk!!!

    Thanks Mike. The official day is next Friday - the thirteenth. Auspicious, eh? Yeah, some of my time will be spent on photography. I'm going to make myself do some of the print preperation that I've been ignoring while taking more shots and then try to get some shots where they might sell. I'm hoping to find someone to be the business half of a team. My communication and people skills are not up to the task and organiztion skills are worse. Maybe I can find some other retired person with the right set of skills who wants something to do and split the profits.
    I'm also going to be taking some trips to rallies (North Carolina, Boscobel, and southern Utah in June) and trying to get my house fixed up enough to sell.

    I just turned the key in the door and opened the office for another week. And here you are with no where to go. Oh I feel so sorry for you. Have a great first Monday of retirement and keep it rolling for a long time.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Thanks Seb. I'll certainly keep shooting. I plan on going back to campus with whole days dedicated to shooting the shots I've been seeing and driving by for years.

    Re: Congratulations Chunk!!!

    So by now on the first Monday morning of your retirement I'm sure you're bored to tears looking for something to do! Congrads again!!!

    Friday the 13th wasn't so bad now, was it? BTW, it was my birthday too (along with Dennis Rodman and Stevie Wonder ).

    Enjoy the travels!
