Thursday 5/22/25: Some Memories and Some Looking Forward

On this day in 1983, I officially wrapped up a job that I had at Radio Shack.  My final exams were done, my graduation was less than a week away, a new job was pending, and a road trip was planned.

Here I am years later, fondly remembering that time, and looking forward to retirement.  The planned date is the end of July and we are already planning the next road trip.  There are more trips we want to do and those are being planned as well.  The DFW Metroplex is one destination and the Tidewater of Virginia is another.  I expect more travel too.

The one concern I had about retiring was that I was going to second-guess myself about it.  Well, that's not happening.  I get tempted on some days to hand in my resignation and get this over with.  I figure that the temptation will be recurring.  I am trying to get some projects at work completed, and I'm optimistic that they will be done in time.  If not............well I'm sticking to the planned date of 7/31.  

Aside from that, not too much else to report.  I am making a four day weekend out of this weekend and I plan on resting and relaxation.  

I also will be remembering those who served.  That includes some family members who are no longer with us.
