The Last Day

Finally done and if I hadn’t given in to the “retirement party” it would have been done on Friday.  I told them just to take a picture of me to the bar and salute me every drink or so and feel free to talk about me all they wanted  – but that didn’t work.  I just can’t help but think of the times I have thought about going to those kind of things but not really wanting to, but I have to say a student that I had long ago made it worth the party.  A true success story that really believes I taught him to write.  (And I did)  The big suprise was my family showing up, and I had no idea they were coming.  Anyway, here I spend my final night in a motel because I am getting up early to finish my Christmas shopping and the retirement home is a good hour drive.  I will post but not publically for 30 days because I have sworn off all electronic devices for 30 days.  Snail mail it the only way to communicate with me other than face to face.
