I'm doing the countdown thing as I write ONE month today colour me gone at this time next month I'll be into at least my second scotch. My work partner will be sitting beside me doing the same thing for the same reason as we decided to both retire on the same day indepedent of each other.She mention one day in passing last fall that she would be retiring in the beginning of April and I started to laugh and said I was thinking of going on the third and she said that was the day she was thinking of too!So we have both been counting down since and been wishing it would come faster.
