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!!

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.

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.

Congrats Shawn, and good luck in your newest career

Don Fernando · 03-04-2009, 11:53 PM

I wish I could do the same, you're a lucky man Shawn.

awsmith4 · 03-05-2009, 01:16 AM

Congrats and good luck Shawn!

icehog3 · 03-05-2009, 01:23 AM

Very cool, Shawn, I know your family will be the better for your decision.

taltos · 03-05-2009, 05:01 AM

Congratulations Shawn. I am hopeful that your decision keeps your whole family happy for a long time.

Sailkat · 03-05-2009, 06:46 AM

Congratulations, Shawn! That is great! What a gift to be able to spend more time with your children when they are at a young age. It is such a treasure!!

dunng · 03-05-2009, 06:56 AM

Congrats and good luck!

BroncoHorvath · 03-05-2009, 07:23 AM

Congrats to you and your family..... Enjoy yourself and take it all in...
It will be tough for you at first, but soon after you will fit right into
the mold....

Bear · 03-05-2009, 07:21 AM

Congrats Shawn!
We should all be so lucky as fathers to get to spend that kind of quality time with our kids.

03-05-2009, 07:44 AM

This isn't how mom does it!

Good luck. Trust me, caring for the kids full-time is more work than a 50+ hour per week job. Just don't cook the grill cheeses with the iron!

DPD6030 · 03-05-2009, 07:49 AM

Congrats on the retirement and spending more time with the family Shawn. Make sure you take time to have a cigar once a day.

G G · 03-05-2009, 08:01 AM

Shawn I congratulate you, and dang I am getting old. Some of the brothers you look up to on here are actaully younger than me. Oh well Brent (smokingator) is older than me.

14holestogie · 03-05-2009, 08:22 AM

Shawn, congratulations on getting the best job a father could hope for. The dividends you will get from being able to do this pale in comparison to any monetary awards you could earn doing anything else. Extremely happy this worked out for you, and a bit jealous I couldn't follow the same road many years go.

chenvt · 03-05-2009, 08:40 AM

congrats, dude..

but everyone be careful.. a fox with free time is a dangerous fox

If this isn't a good reason to send you an Opus I don't know what is.
