takes everything you've got
I woke up the other morning, radiantly happy, with the word SEMI-RETIREMENT floating in front of my eyes. It was Saturday, I could sleep in, and I was SEMI-RETIRED. I don't know what semi-retired actually means (my guess is that it means one is NOT actually retired), but damn was I happy. And then I realized that it was not Saturday, it was Thursday. But you know what? I didn't care, because I was SEMI-RETIRED. Semi-retirement is apparently the key to happiness in life. So I'm going with it.
I decided to semi-retire just in time, because I found out on Friday that I will be starting a new project soon. A project that will take me to Collegeville, PA for the next nine months. I'll be working out of a hotel room in Collegeville, just a stone's throw from Philadelphia and a boulder's throw from Valley Forge National Park!! So semi-retirement is keeping me busy. The client will be springing for my food, lodging, periodic jaunts to New Jersey, and infrequent plane rides back to Seattle. I, in between naps, will supply huge amounts of very valuable knowledge, with maybe a snappy comment thrown in here and there.
So when you're scheduling your next Revolutionary War Historical Tour and you decide that Valley Forge is the place to go, look me up. Chances are that I will be in a state of semi-retirement somewhere near where you need to be. Offer good until the end of 2007. May not be combined with other promotion offers. Cash value 1/10,000th of one cent.
