@Jerry N. posted:This thread presents an ideal opportunity to introduce myself as I have finally joined the Forum. I recently retired at age 58 after 30 years as a public defender in a very large city situated by a very large lake. My initial plan, post-retirement, was to get a non-confrontational gig simply to maintain a semblance of structure in my day-to-day existence, thereby ensuring a regular bathing schedule, etc. COVID hit at just about the time I was finalizing my exit with the pension board, so a job search hasn’t been in the cards.
Turns out I’m doing fine. I am taking good care of myself, enjoying my wife’s company, corresponding regularly with my daughters, and waking up every morning without having a day in court hanging over my head. AND, I am using my new-found freedom to explore aspects of our hobby that I previously had no time to pursue.
You’ll be hearing from me sporadically as I butcher a Marx 333 or blow out my fuse box with a Lionel Type V.
Jerry,
Glad things are working out. Lots of good ideas in this topic. Post pictures of your progress.
Tom
