| It's time to leave the Post Office and get out of Illinois.I've sold my house and found a place in Northern Virginia where I intend to live "Happily ever after". Leaving on my terms,not fired,laid off,or excessed.Kind of nice for a change.I will be off line for a while at the end of November when we move. I can't imagine my good fortune in getting to this point in life,I will always expect to see a little sign on the front door that says "Checkout Time is 11:00AM".     Behind the house,2000 acre lake,no motors....I have to paddle a canoe.  Winslow

| But... Will the Mrs. allow smoking in that lovely new house? The deck makes me think you'd better buy some sweaters.  |

| That looks wonderful, congratulations! You don't have to kneel in a canoe, you can get a flat bottomed pram with a nice comfortable chair and row around all day
