!4 Days to Go

Like Cher, I am ready for my second retirement, with maybe a few more to go after this.

After almost three years, I am ending my current contract on Dec 14th, which means there are only 14 more working days left. It has been a good assignment, and Lori and I have enjoyed Ottawa, but I want to retire while I am still healthy and able to travel and visit our family scattered around North America.

I am also planning another project management course which I think will be in higher demand than my current course. It will be on "Why Projects Fail" and based on the feedback I get from my courses, almost every project seems to be having problems. I have developed a neat Project Health Check" tool to diagnose the problem areas in a project that I think will fit well in the course.

So I will not be in full retirement mode, but Lori and I will still be able to travel and spend our winters in Florida or some other sunny location, go on cruises in Europe and visit friends in New Zealand and England.

I have no pictures to go with this post, so will include this one of a very cute little boy and his even cuter big sister. No prizes for guessing who they are.



And in case my little brother gets jealous, I am including a cute prized photo of him also. Who knew that England had its own Wild West (Bristol)!

I was just going to post a comment that you needed to post and voila you had a post. Those pictures are soooo cute!!! What a cute little boy you were.

Glad you are so close to retirement, well partial retirement. I only have to work 2.5 days left this year.

Maybe we should move someplace cool so you have another place to visit on your time off. :)

Good for you for finally partially retiring! Your project management course sounds like a great idea.

I love the photos. Yvonne's right, you were a cute kid. I can't believe how much Colin and Martin look alike!

P.S. I hope your retirement will enable you to post more stories about your life. Then again you'll have 'low speed' again, so maybe not.

Miss you,
Yvonne
