Yeah, I wasn't going to do it. It's just a silly ceremonial thing but my kids encouraged me to do it. The official ceremony walk is sometime mid November.

I guess it will set an example that if the old man can go back to school for another degree, then there is no excuse for them to not continue on and further their education after they graduate from high school.

Thanks Ram.

Forecast is calling for dreary day with on and off rain showers. Sounds like a nice layabout day. Binge watch something and sprinkle in a nap or two.

Alice lives in Phx and I have seen/talked to him a few times at the golf course. Really a down to earth dude who does a bunch of charity in this area. He has opened two maybe three "Alice Cooper's School Of Rock" locations around town that benefit underprivileged kids along with many other charitable events he puts on.

"Alice Cooper has announced full details about the 2022 edition of his star-studded annual charity fundraiser, Alice Cooper's Christmas Pudding.

The event, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary, is scheduled to take place on December 3 at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix. Joining the shock rocker on the lineup are Sammy Hagar, Rob Zombie, The Romantics' Wally Palmar, Gin Blossoms, and comedian and Saturday Night Live alum Jim Breuer.

Tickets for the concert will go on sale to the general public Friday, October 21, at 10 a.m. local time at CelebrityTheatre.com. There will also be presale offers beginning Monday, October 17.

The event will raise money to pay for staff and resources at Alice Cooper's Solid Rock Teen Centers, which provide free music, dance, arts and vocational training programs for people aged 12 to 20. There are two centers, located in Phoenix and Mesa, Arizona, respectively."

Awsome! It's a ton of extra work finishing school while working, you deserve the recognition. Your kids are correct and they want you to get the recognition.

Not sure I'd classify my current job as actual work. A trained monkey can do it so, from that aspect, I qualify. It's just a means to an end for some extra money and milking them for their free tuition, 401(k) match, and employee stock purchase plan benefits.

Spent too many years building a career and chasing money in the corporate environment. I'm proud of my accomplishments, learned a ton of interesting and fun stuff but burning the candle at both ends just led me to burn out.

I'm too old for corporate BS. I made a conscience decision do something different. Some might call it a midlife crisis or whatever but I felt it was time to turn the page for my next chapter in life while I'm still alive.

A trained monkey could do a lot of the jobs out there. Don't tell the bosses though.

I wouldn't mind having a monkey for a pet. My apt complex doesn't allow dogs or cats. To the best of my knowledge there is no fine print about monkeys.

Then again, if I had one, it might out smart me (not an insurmountable task).

Sound like sound planning. At first changing jobs was a challenge, but learning new things is more fun than doing the same things day after day. I spent almost nine years as a government employee, a dam operator, but got fed up with civil service BS so I quit and never looked back. I did miss living on a remote site.

I've been construction labor, a welder, welding instructor, welding inspector, dam operator, quality assurance engineer, lead quality assurance engineer, field material engineer, nuclear power plant spare parts administrator, cost accounting manager, information services manger, cost account planning engineer, contracts engineer, configuration management engineer, data administrator and system administrator, with a few other odd/temporary jobs mixed in.
