I get it, SEMI-RETIRED!!!  HA HA HA HA.  Actually, cool that you could come
join the list!!  You won't be disappointed unless you try to step out of
their very narrow guidelines then they hunt you down and strip your car!!
Kidding, of course.  So, have you decided on our swap??  My wife and I are
on pins and needles up here!!
