looking forward to having the time to just sit down and immerse himself
in them.
He's back from his three-month Australian trip (if you remember me
mentioning this before--he's back even if you don't remember me
mentioning it! <g>) and I'm working hard on getting him NOT to go back
to work. We're still too young to "retire", whatever that means these
days, but there are lots of ways to make enough money to live w/o
engaging in work you don't like. I'm reading "Making a Living Without a
Job" aloud each day and he's beginning to show signs of real interest.
I can't seem to keep up with this list, but every time I dip in to read
I find something wonderful!
