    OK, I will.

    It's CRAP that it has taken so long to turn for the better for you.

    How long have I been retired?? Been retired for exactly nineteen (19) years this August. Have never been bored and I absolutely LOVE doing what ever the hell I feel like doing (within legal and moral limits of course) and wouldn't change anything. As far as going shooting by myself, no big deal at all because I hate to go to a range and have a neighboring shooter bending my ear with constant chatter. I go there to shoot and not to just bull shit. I am truly sorry to hear that you feel that retirement is not what it was "cracked up to be" but I for one, am totally happy and wish that I could have retired at a much younger age to have even more free time.
    Hey, we had better enjoy our retirement while we still can.

    There was some large accident on I-25 this morning HOURS before I had to be a work. I left my house with plenty of time to get to work. It took me 65 minutes to drive 12 miles. I could have ridden my bike to work faster. I was 35 minutes late. I lost my perfect attendance, and as a result, watched $400 extra come out of my paycheck while I went 10 miles an hour on I-25 for over an hour.

    That's crap.

    Forgive my lack of sympathy. After all that, at least you're still getting nookie.

    You know those times you're sitting in traffic and thinking, "Someone better have died up there!"?

    Well, I think this was one of those times where someone actually did die. I'm just mad because the accident was cleaned up and the highway reopened at 6:15am. I didn't get on the highway until about 8:20am and didn't get to the "scene" until 9:20am, and it was STILL backed up! Quit reminding me about it.
