Of course, I no longer own an alarm clock. Enjoy coffee and cigars in the courtyard whenever the mood strikes. Go to the range if I feel like it. Read a book if I feel like it. Putter in the garage if I feel like it. Take a walk if I feel like it. Veg out if I feel like it. And did I mention naps?
You are my hero, Bill.
