I awoke this morning to realize I only had three full days of full time
work ahead of me. Forever. While that is certainly food for thought I’m
committed to seeing this through to the finish line and won’t take any extra
time off. I’ve spent the last couple weeks emptying the walls of my office
which has brought a number of comments from fellow employees who had grown accustomed
to the “I Love Me” walls. I have the daunting task now on figuring out how to
hang all that self-important accoutrement in the Man Cave, but that’s next
week.

The biggest current challenge is transferring both my Favorite Panamanian’s
and my cell phone to a new carrier. The new iPhones arrived in the mail
yesterday and I have sought tutelage from my tech support team, the I-Phone
master himself, Wingman. I probably present his greatest challenge ever when it
comes to long range tech advice. I’m going for it tomorrow with both my wife
and my phones getting backed up to the cloud tonight. I know, I didn’t even
know that was possible. If someone can’t reach me on the cell phone over the next
couple days you now know the reason. I learned the valuable lesson to not let
your photo collection get out of hand. I had over 10,000 photos and videos on
the phone dating back to 2016. A surprising number of them were duplicates because
why take one photo of a granddaughter when you can take ten. I spent three
hours last night deleting the duplicates to get it down to a manageable state.

Since there wasn’t enough going on, the trickster gods decided to send me
another challenge. My long overdue flag pole arrives today! The challenge will
be digging a very deep hole through the rocks and clay, but it’s not as if I
don’t have extensive experience in that regard. The upside is that I then get
to play with concrete! I want the flag up to celebrate retirement as well as
signal just how much I love this country, even with all its current warts.
