55. Happy retirement!

Fri Jul 3, 2026, 11:06 AM

Yesterday

I've been retired for 28 years (some very special circumstances on that) but I've been as happy as can be (considering the present calamity in the White House) all those years. Good on 'ya, and thanks for being a nurse all those years. It takes a special kind of person to do what you did.
