    You certainly have been busy.... :) Raking in the big bucks, too, I'd imagine, with that sort of hours.... ;)

    Its so funny. Marshall employees, who have known me for years, ask
    "I thought you were retired?" and I reply "I thought I was as well".
    Then add how A1 and Marshall are lost without me, don't know what to
    do, how to do it, where to do it, etc. :)

    Which, even if you are kidding, apparently has more than just a grain of
    truth to it... ;)

    Saving for your next trip...?

    Partly.
    I have enough on retirement and savings to get along comfortably.
    (Of course my expenses are low (no car, no house, not married, etc).
    What I make goes directly into the bank and generally stays there.
    Or, as I like to call it, whatever I make is all gravy. :)

    And makes more money while you think of something special to do with
    it... ;)

    And its not like I'm doing any heavy labour.
    I'm at a counter in a lobby, the building is still on lock down,
    limited access, employees with swipe cards, etc. Not much to do.
    Weekends I take my laptop and any weekday is a tablet, and do pretty
    much there what I would be doing at home and getting paid for it.

    Best of both worlds... and the occasional passerby to kibbitz with... ;)

    It could be worse, I could be expected to actually do something productive. :)

    Quite true.... <G>

    Nancy,

    Quite true.... <G>

    I could say something about Joe's comment, but discretion is the
    better part of valor. <G>

    Feed Cut Warning?? I guess I need to go into grovel mode. <G>

    The comment was on being productive...but without the presence of
    yours truly as "comedy relief", the echo would be quiet. <G>

    Daryl

    ... Well, to be frank, I'd have to change my name.
