Just wanted to say ...
Hi all.
I'm happy.
I'm retiring in 2 weeks. (almost 30 years same company)
We plan to sell our house (lived here 20+ years) and move to our other house in 2010.
It's exciting.
It's a sort of "graduation" for me.
OK ... my post can be moved to other topics whenever the MB spirits deem it's necessary.

Ouch. All the dancing icons make my eyes bleed.
But I'm really happy for you, Pepperband. You're an inspiration to everyone here -- even relative newcomers like me (now even newer, thanks to the blackout).
All the best. By the way, if you have a pig in your back yard, I hope you dig a pit and barbecue it properly. I have advice if you need it :-).
