After 40 years, 5 months and 17 days I have put my career to rest and retired.

Congratulations, Phil.

I'm looking forward to that in about 10 years.

Congratulations for being put out to pasture. :o Just kidding! So do you have any long term plans ahead besides spending more time with your guitar?

Congrats, Stay busy and enjoy your freedom.  I have 9 years, 7 months to go starting tomorrow.  I hope I find a way to end it sooner.  I have too many things I want to do.

Congrats on pulling the plug, I'm sure you've earned it after all that time.

We are planning on another year and a 1/2 and then the big move to Big Sky country!

Congratulations to you, Phil! It's nice that you have an exciting activity (guitar playing) lined up to enjoy as you start your retirement :)

Congrats Phil! ... Play on!

(I am looking at purchasing a few more instruments so that once I retire and if my old hands hold up, I'll be able to occupy my time constructively ...  8))

More congratulations here, Phil. May you enjoy your retirement to the fullest!

I could retire, I suppose, but, hey, I love what I do so much that I would actually pay to get to do it! (Please don't anyone tell my boss I said that!) I plan to keep on as long as I am physically able. Right now, that looks like it could well be a good many more years...

Best wishes,
cotten
