OT: I’m officially retired today!!!
Hi all,
I spent 35 years working on TV shows and movies. About 4 years ago, I decided to pack it in, sell my house and move to a much smaller place at the beach. Only thing is, I was 58 at the time and my retirement benefits didn’t kick in until I turned 62. Well, I turned 62 middle of April and today I got my first pension check. The whole thing is very surreal and pretty anti-climactic. My wife had planned on throwing me a big bash on the roof of our building. Obviously that didn’t happen. No going out to celebrate at a fancy restaurant, no friends over, nada. But, I am blessed that I had such a great career and am staying healthy through this time. There are many silver linings in this and one of them is that my riding partner of 15 years has been working from home and has very little work. We are riding 4-5 times a week. The roads are empty and the sky is clear. Been really great! I wish everyone, retired or not, to stay safe. We are all in this together. Steve

have been retired since 2016...even purchased 3 years of 'time-served' with a state agency to be able to bail early.
that move wasn't exactly cheap, but haven't regretted doing it for a second. enjoy waking up and not having to fight traffic to go to an office, attend countless unproductive meetings, suffer thru performance reviews, etc etc. oh, and cycling mileage has gone up from 6K/yr to 9K+/yr...
