Retirement come, retirement put on hold

A few years ago I retired from the work force. 

It lasted about two months until my ex-employer called me and begged me to un-retire. (Seems my replacement lied about experience.) I went back with the understanding I'd work two or three days a weeks, and I got to choose the days. 

That lasted about six months and all hell broke loose. Business was booming and I was very reluctantly working full time again. 

Now the wheel has turned and I'm scaling back again. This time, I've agreed to ease into my departure. Beginning in August, I'm on a four-day workweek. As soon as a new hire comes in, it'll be three days a week. Then two. 

And then, please God, may I please actually and permanently enter my post-employment years and become The Lady of the Manor?

PS. I may even get around to reviewing some of the better books I read.

And what have we learned?

Cicero 55 BC:

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."

That was approximately 2065 years ago.

We haven't learned a thing.

So I have a blog

I'm here, but what do I write about? I'm not sure, I just know I want to write. I read a lot of blogs, and most of them drive me crazy. Who are these people?

I guess they're people like me. If you want to be heard, you have to get out there and say something!

So, I will.

As soon as I figure out where to start.
