My last day at the day job, where I'm COO of a boutique graduate school in NYC, is next Wednesday, the day before my 70th birthday. I have been looking forward to this with excitement for three years, since I decided to do it at 70. My vintage pen restoration business is growing rapidly and I just can't get better at it from 8-10pm weeknights and stolen weekend time. In fact, I'm here because I bought my Logan 820 in 2017 for pen work, and a big chunk of my upcoming time will be seriously expanding my skills there, in metal to train and then in celluloid and ebonite. I'm also a lifelong scale model car builder, and for anyone here in that world as well, I'm part of the club that puts on the NNL East every year (through 2019, for obvious reasons), so expecting to devote time to getting back into that as well. And, my 17 month grandson has already stolen my Thursday afternoons for the past year (pays to have been the boss, I had that flexibility), which surely will continue. Finally, I want to get my body back in shape; the last year hasn't been good for me.
Onwards!

Regarding my wife, she is a high school teacher here in NYC and still loves teaching. But, we'll see what happens this fall when she has to be up and out early and I will be up but decidedly not out.
