@jmcgrogan2 "@trelja , Joe, you are moving to Vancouver?????
Good luck! I hope that all is well!"
Thank you for your concern and well wishes, John.
All IS well. Always had the dream to retire when I was in my 40s, and looks like I hit that with almost 2 years to spare. Will need to find something to keep myself busy, but getting up early, day after day after day after day for the daily grind looks like it won't be one of them. Had a house in the Vancouver area the past several years, and spent a fair amount of time there, and just bought a second one. It's a wonderful environment, extraordinarily safe, good and friendly people, beautiful scenery, MUCH cleaner than the Philadelphia region where you and I live (if you can believe that), incredible economic engine, and comfortable weather through the year. Neighbors there like to joke the two things I won't need any more are snow shovels (or, snow blowers) and air conditioners. Still keeping the house here and at the Jersey shore, but will make the Pacific Northwest the home base. At least, for now...
