Thanks for the kind words.

I will talk to Steve and see if he is still interested, it is a massive project though.  If I can get some other stuff off my desk later this year I may be able to free up a little bandwidth.

You are just going to have to hang on health-wise though since it will be awhile.  Eat your Wheaties.

Best Regards,

  

Jeff,  No rest for the Wicked and the Righteous don’t need it!  You give me hope.  Now I just need to enlist Lou Luttrell’s help so together we can encourage Steve, on some regular and recurring basis. Sort of like the drone in a Bach fugue. 

As an engineer, you’ll understand when I say my beta cells couldn’t handle your proffered bowl of Wheaties.  The plot on my Hbgl would look like the trajectory of a Saturn first stage. 

But I’ll try to possess my soul in patience and pray to be spared for the time required. And keep me on your list for the 56/57 and 72/72A books, preferably in hardbound editions.  

A word of caution: As I found out when I finally slipped harness, in retirement you don’t get any days off and the honeydew lists grow longer. There’s something in the female psyche that is repelled by the sight of a seated male body. 

Power to your elbow, 

Bill

Chuck, congratulations!  Tim

I told her this morning I couldn’t believe that she has put up with me this long.

  

I’d like to hear her response! 

I “slipped the harness” less than a year ago and even without a SWMBO on the premises I have been a lot busier than I ever dreamed I’d be. I just made a proposal that I’m pretty sure I’ll regret when I sober up but it seemed like a good idea at the time. I did find the time to submit a very short article to the TGCA magazine so I guess I’m not overwhelmed.

Have you set a retirement date, Jeff?

Chuck,  Congratulations to you and yours on such a significant anniversary. Good health and long life to you both. And never take each other’s presence for granted. 

Well I didn’t realize I was in on the conversation.

But after 54 years, next time she gives you any trouble, just tell her you expect your next wife to treat you better!

That’ll get a rise out of her for sure.

Sorry Maverick. I messed up, again.  Should have been Mike.   No way would I say something like that.  That would bring on a major battle.  She can carry a grudge for a lifetime.  A few months ago the song Susie Q came on the radio and she immediately changed the channel.  I asked her why and said I like that song.  She said she didn’t like it because I dated Sue xxx in high school.  We graduated in 1969.
