Can't believe that Irene knocked us out, as well. I was so looking forward to seeing old friends from the Class. We lost power for 42 hours and played Amish for that period. No water in basement or tree damage. My commute to New York on Tuesday by bus took three hours and reinforced for me why I am a train guy. Train service was restored on Wednesday. We've been back to Syracuse twice in the last few months - unfortunately, the trips were for the funerals of my Mom and my wife's Aunt. Both women were 99 and had good productive lives. On Tuesday, I get to stand on the platform with my daughter for the ringing of the opening bell on the New York Stock Exchange. I'm looking forward to that and wish I could have some stabilizing influence on the market. My wife and I continue to work and wonder when we will retire. My late father practiced law until he was 89, but I think I'm looking at something quite short of that age. I'd be interested to hear from Classmates how they eased into retirement, what they are doing, and how they are enjoying that time.
