Well, here we are well into December, winding up yet another year. This year will be a bit different though, at least for me. I’ll be retiring at the end of the month, so December will be a month I’ve both looked forward to, and dreaded, for perhaps much of my adult life. I’m looking forward to not having to get up at 5:30 each morning, although a little furry critter who shares our household may not approve of that enough to actually let it occur. He seems to be hard-wired into a 5:30 a.m. feeding of fresh food, so putting victuals out the night before doesn’t work, doggone it!
Making doctors’ appointments will be much easier, no longer must I insist future appointments be on Monday or Tuesday, preferably late in the day. And unless I just feel the need to drive around aimlessly, I guess my gasoline purchases will be more modest, at least during most weeks. Fewer fast food meals will probably help the bulging problem around my waist, too. And no more enforced bedtimes. I’ll be able to stay up as late as I want, even all night if that’s what I choose to do.
Won’t have to take clothes to the dry cleaners anymore, either. And I can quit shining my shoes so often as well.
Watch more TV, take more naps, explore the Internet for hours at a time – sounds like a pretty good way to enjoy life to me! |

| Perhaps it would give you even more time to do what you're good at: and that is, to write! Take it easy. <br><br>Tom |

| Tom, Phil;<br> I'm not going away completely. My column will still appear in the Banner (and on ocala.com) three days each week. So I'll just be irritating readers three times each week instead of six! :-) |
