I would like to retire from work and do something crazy with my wife. Like ride our bikes from Illinois to the Gulf of Mexico along the Mississippi River Trail. If we wait too long I would have to live with what I could have done.

How I did it: I actually considered dyeing my hair at one time. However I am who I am, it is my opinion that if I keep myself in good condition, I receive more respect from others due to my gray hair. Read how I did it…
How I did it: It is best to take care of your health today and in that way some day you will find that your are old. In fact it has worked so well I intend, with God's help, to get older:-) Read how I did it…
How I did it: Go to the various job sites online, I got a job on USA Jobs. Put yourself up for any job that remotely interest you, then let the employer decide if you are qualified or not. Read how I did it…

We kept our house in northern Arkansas, and most of my “stuff” is still there. It is surprising to say that I do not miss the vast majority of those things. “If you have not used it in a year, get ride of it,” should be my new motto:-)
We take a series of rectification test at work each year. I was one of five people, out of 130, who failed at my first attempt. I need not go into all of the reasons that this happened, but it did happen. I passed on the second attempt, but this was a real lesson in humility.
