Some good news and just in time

[Roger Hicks]

I'm feeling especially greatful and wanted to share the good news with my apug friends.

Alan.

Dear Alan,

YES! Hearty congratulations and best wishes. We'll raise a glass in your direction. Your post about being unemployed moved me almost to tears: been there (25+ years ago), done that (for 6 months), wasn't keen on the idea.

Count your blessings. I've just spent the week-end with friends who were COMPLAINING because they couldn't afford to retire early (54 and 63) in the precise area of their choice, and had to settle for second best.

Then I pointed out that they were damn' lucky to retire early at all. When you're younger, much the same argument goes for working.

Cheers,

Roger

One great thing about living in the NJ area in addition to the pollution, traffic and taxes there are a lot of jobs.

Now if we would only stop thinking of you as menacing bennie....
