Good for you hotflashgirl. Enjoy the trip. And I agree - working keeps the mind going and the spirits up. I know some people who definitely retired too young and it's a shame to see how little they have to offer now.

Another couple and Ross and I went to an Oriole game several weeks ago. In front of us sat about eight 20-something guys who were drinking like fish, having the time of their lives (well, probably not), and entertaining our whole section with all their comments. We were sitting directly behind the opponents dugout. They were hysterical. WE ended up cahtting it up with them before the night was over. They truly added to our ballpark experience. They left a little before us and it felt like the whole section was let down. The game was rather boring. Anyway, fun peple are electric and I love being around them whether I know them or not.
