Me: I’m going camping.
Friend: For how long?
Me: The next 20 years.

I turned in the keys to the apartment today. I am now houseless!

I feel exhilarated. And apprehensive. And maybe a little depressed. But now I can really get started on my retirement journey. It seems like I’ve been planning for so long for this moment. And now … let the fun begin!

I will leaving Fort Wayne tomorrow on a trip south. I think I’ll drive along the Ohio River and then down into the  Carolinas. I want to see if Spring has come to the Smoky Mountains yet.

I have several events scheduled for this spring, but in between, I’ll be travelin’.
