Congratulations and welcome to the club.
I retired last February and haven't looked back...not once and I loved my position and the folks I worked for. I was ready.

Are you going to tonerite your new watch so that it keeps time evenly?
Probably need to hit the gym to build up my left arm so I can wear it. It really is a BIG watch. Got out of the habit of wearing one so I'll have to get used to it again.

I wore a watch every day since grade 6. I stopped wearing them last year when my watch broke. My mobile has the time so that gets me by.

Pretty snazzy watch,

I had always envisioned HHP as being something like, Sir Henry Heathcliff Perceval the III ... but I guess Harry will do

Congrats!

I wish I could retire now,
but I have many years to go.
I am getting so tired of being a slave to money,
the pursuit of money, only 3 weeks a year of vacation,
being shocked awake every weekday morning by my alarm clock.
Ugh

Really nice watch you got.
Enjoy your retirement!

Fairy Nuff !

HHP , upon his retirement from the world of labour, shall henceforth be know as "The Right Honourable Sir Henry Heathcliff Perceval !!!!

Bend the knee you commoners! bend the knee!

(I actually know a British bluegrass mandolin player who is a hereditary knight).

Well, the middle "H" is Hamilton. Since we got run out of Scotland as Jacobites, I kinda doubt a knighthood is in the offing. Our family crest would picture a still and a couple Colt revolvers.
