I hope that your hope about hope hopefully springing eternal happens.
You've obviously been watching to many commercials about retirement with re-tired tires and investing in vests.
Retirement? Right now it's looking like I will have to work until I'm 110. Mrs JABF will only be 108 at that point though. She's a spring chicken. Hope I can still chase her around and catch her at 110... gotta keep in shape I guess.
