Today Is A Red Letter Day For Me! - Yay!!
May 24, 2018
I'm happy to say that this is indeed a "Red Letter Day" for me. Today is my last day of work in the corporate world! I start the next chapter of my life tomorrow. I'm excited to see where it leads me.
And..........tomorrow evening, Bill and I leave for a twelve day vacation in Ireland. We're very excited to explore that country. This will be the first time in 30+ years where I've taken a vacation and not had to worry about checking work emails, or being on conference calls. I think it's going to feel great.
I will be off SM for two weeks for sure. Maybe longer. I'm having a minor surgery on June 25th and will be in a neck brace for 6-8 weeks. The brace will preclude a lot of computer work. So I'll just see how it goes, and how much I can do on the computer in a day.
I'll miss you all and will try to comment on your photos as I can. Just know that even though I'm MIA from SmugMug for the next several weeks, I'll be back again as soon as I can be. For those of you that are FB friends I'll post a few iPhone pics from the vaca. Look for lots of the Emerald Isle photos on SM starting in July.
This is a photo from the rail yards in Chama, New Mexico. It was taken in May, 2017.
Have a fabulous day!

on May 24Great shot, invoking journeys past and present, for the occasion.
Huge congratulations on completing one phase of your life and jumping in with both feet to the next one. I love your enthusiasm for taking on new adventures. I predict that you'll love Ireland. I'd go back there in a heartbeat if I could. We'll all miss you, but life takes precedence over computer time, any day. Travel safely, and be well.

on May 24Enjoy your very last day! Then enjoy the next one even more! Have a great trip to Ireland, and look forward to seeing your pics and having you back all healed and happy after surgery.
PS I had my cardiac procedure last Monday, and so far it looks like it was successful. I may be back in the running soon...
