My Apologies My Friends

blugill · 04-06-2021, 05:35 AM

I’m so sorry I’ve been away so long.
All is very well with me, I’ve just been very busy.
The past year I’ve worked 7 days a week and I’m in grad school so I can move onto a post career.....fun job.
This year I’m eligible to retire with a pension in September/October and wanted to learn something fun and creative. So working for a full year straight has put me in the financial position I need to be in so I can live on my pension if I want to.
The grad degree in marketing also gives me a ton of options to support myself in a creative way.
In February I bought a new Subaru Outback and plan on traveling the country for a couple of months and letting the wind blow me wherever it wants to. The car is built for camping so I’m going to outfit it and go get lost for a while.
I even bumped my term back so I literally won’t have a worry and I’m going to learn how to take care of myself for a short time.
I gave up my second job a while back so I’m going to check in more often than I had previously. I promise.
I love this place and all my inmates!

That's a man with a plan right there.

Good to "see" you again! If you're traveling and camping, you gotta come to the Blue Ridge Mts. for a spell.

(for those that don't know, "spell" in this case means "for a while"

)

AdamJoshua · 04-06-2021, 01:25 PM

Wait, you were gone?

blugill · 04-06-2021, 02:31 PM

You guys always crack me up!!!
The Blue Ridge Mountains sound cool!
Anyone have any other suggestions on places to visit where I can camp enjoy the scenery?

Any Walmart parking lot. You might not enjoy the scenery, but it’ll make you feel better about yourself.

Welcome back.

Sounds like one exhausting retirement you've planned there, Andy. Good luck with that.

Welcome home.
