: Maybe not financially richer, but my life is less stressful and I have

: thing.

: Too bad someone doesn't say to our young folks: "You know you'll spend

I know what you mean; I hate working for someone else. That is way this summer I plan to take 10 weaks off using the Family Medical Leave Act.

I plan to play with kid, work on my boat (I think it has been in progress 3yrs) go on a variety of treks, canoeing, kayaking, mountaineering, who knows what. You know I don't think ten weeks will be enough.

Well the boss is back, so I guess I have to go do the sinfull thing (work).
