....from the Jersey Grands....

Enjoy a well deserved permanent vacation; keep the viagra handy, Santa Teresa & Pampero well stocked, but most importantly, don't ever stop exercising your brain. That will keep you young.

Hope to see you at Polkfest; no excuse not to go now.

    Yeah, happy retirement!

    And I already offered you a ride to Polk Fest. I'm not hangin' around all weekend so I'll be back Friday night. If you wanna roll, you got a ride down and a ride back.

    Near 32 years with Uncle Sam
    Keeping out of the line of fire
    Hey, this is a good time
    For George Grand to retire

    Near 32 years of saying Yes Sir!
    To orders issued by upper brass
    Give me an order now
    I'll respond with Kiss My ****!

    I’ll grow a huge moustache
    And be absolutely resolute
    I’ll surely forget
    How to salute!

    Time to hang up the suit
    For no more will I fly
    But I have many alternatives
    For getting that high

    Whenever to bed
    And late to rise
    I foresee many days
    Will meet their demise

    One thing I fear
    I may be annoyed
    That I got more done
    When I was employed



    Congrats on your retirement, George Grand.

    Congrats George!!! And thank you for your service.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Congrats! However...I think you will be bored out of your gourd within twelve months. You don't seem like the type to sit back and relax for too long and peddling vinyl to polkies is only a part time gig. Good luck and enjoy whatever you decide to do during "retirement".

    Dude, you can get pineapples shipped straight from the farm, as fresh as can be from the Internet!

    http://www.alohafriendsshop.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=3

    You can also get the awesomest coffee known to man too!

    http://www.konacoffee.com/
    http://www.konacoffee.com/orderform.html

    Those are excellent prices for the coffee too. Two pounds of 100% pure Kona coffee would cost you upwards of $100 here. 5 pounds for $130.
