Shawn, congrats and best wishes on the life change.

Apron bombing?

[Starchild]

Congratulations on the retirement! I'm glad that circumstances allowed you to take this step. I hope it brings nothing but happiness for your family

[DragonMan]

That is great news!! I admit I'm envious, I would love to be able to spend that kind of quality time with my kids and wife. I wish you and your family all the best!!

Congratlations on your decision and i wish you and your family all the best!

I was "retired" after 31 years at the Bell System, and at 49, I enjoyed the time with my wife and family. I hope it works out as well for you!!!

Good luck my friend! I hope it all works out for you and your family.

I did the same thing when I was 35, brother. Well, kinda the same thing.
My wife didn't do anything, she just mostly b!tched at me and stuff.
Tomorrow I turn 42 and I'm kinda thinking about getting a job. I miss having a real job. A steady income would be something new, too.
The cool thing is that since my daughter was born 12 years ago her and I have been tied at the hip, because I've always been 100% available. She's the the most incredible human being I have ever met, and she works really hard at teaching her Dad to quit being such a dick. That relationship is the single most incredible thing that's come out of being semi-retired.
You're in for the time of your life. You're gonna love it.
If you need any pointers on how to do nothing and look really good doing it, just give me a shout. For additional inspiration, watch all the videos at oddtodd.com. It's good stuff.
Go to the grocery store tomorrow and get plenty of Pringles. They're absolutely essential to being successfully semi-retired.

If I read between the lines you still have mixed emotions about the whole thing. I hope you will soon consider this a blessing and a terrific accomplishment. Enjoy your family! Well done!

Shawn,

Congrats on being able to take your next step in life!

I have to admit I'm a little jealous as well...but I wish you all the best, and I know that your family will love having you around a lot more. Congrats!!

[Mugen910]

Work will always be there....sometimes hidden in disguise but none the less be there...just keep in mind that you only get one chance to raise your kids so you might as well make the best of it.

[shvictor]

Congrats to your new life. Enjoy the time with your kids. Money will come and go, but spending this time with your kids is priceless.

[rrplasencia]

good luck with all your endeavors

Way to go Shawn. All the best to you and your family.

Does that mean you are retiring from bombing too?

[bobarian]

Best of luck Shawn. It's great that you have a supportive wife and the courage to make such a life altering move. It's also great that you will be able to spend more time with the kids. I hope everything works out exactly as you plan!

Congrats Shawn, and good luck in your newest career

[Cigargal]

Way to go, Dad!
