If I wasn’t consulted before this generous offer was made I would have to regretfully decline the invitation. It is a hairball move to make such a generous gift and be the hero only to have to “drag” everyone else in against their will to get it paid for. I know this probably isn’t so much about who gets the credit, but the principle involved here is fundamental. That’s just my opinion.

I threw out like 13 suits and sport-coat/pant combos as well as all my ties when I retired. Love every minute of never seeing them again. Closure.

Went out and bought a timeless style, charcoal-grey, suit, a few shirts and a few ties. That's all I need. I refuse to rent a tux, so I used to have one when all our friends were getting married. But now, I would just wear my suit with a black tie or bowtie, depending on the circumstances.

On my way to Beaumont, TX. Dropping off an empty trailer and picking up a full one. Traffic is backed up going across the Atchafalaya swamp. No telling how long it’ll take to get across. But I’m on the clock instead of the mile so it’s no big deal.

Good morning all, we have decided to add some time to our trip and go to Willamette Valley in Oregon. We may go to Washington after that. Being retired is nice as far as traveling goes. Overall the food has been fantastic. Fresh fish is fantastic, freezing just does something to it, plus the slow cooked experience is refreshing. We have one more day in California to tour the park with the Sequioa trees, and try a few more small wineries. We have shipped some wine home that we have no availability to, and have joined a few wine clubs for the same reason. Enjoy the day, it is beautiful and life is good, praise God!
