    Since I'm retired, does that count as permanent hookie?

    My father is retired also. He always says this when asked what he has planned for the day..."I'm not going to do a damn thing today and If I don't feel like doing that then I won't!"
    No excuses!

    :D Kinda bittersweet... Plus side is I can do what I want, but there's no thrill of "getting away" with something.
