I've never really thought of a blog as something I had time to do. Other people have always had them, and I've always thought that maybe they needed more work, or something. Well, anyway. . . I'm leaving my job in May, and it is amazing how much free time I've developed now that the pressure is off to get so much done at work. As another friend who is leaving his job in August put it: "Welcome to the Farewell Tour."
And so far, the beginning of my tour has been a sold out show. I had no idea how much life goes on around you when you are sucked into a full time (double time) job for a few years. I've caught up with more friends since I announced my departure (about 3 weeks ago) than I have since I started this job (about 3 years ago). And, as much as I've traveled in the last 3 years for work, one idea keeps coming into my mind: Road Trip. As many friends as I have caught up with in Boulder, imagine the scope if I got in my car and got serious.
I've always wanted a street sign for my house the reads "Hawk's Pl." There are some obvious setbacks to this desire, not the least of which is that stealing street signs. . . I think. . . is not legal. None the less, as I think about a list of key road trip objectives, I cannot ignore this goal. There are other objectives, subject to revision, related to things I have never seen, places I have never been, or people I would like to see. Two that come to mind:
1. See real country music in a real country music venue
1a) if necessary, buy cowboy boots in aforementioned certified venue city
2. See a Cubs game
And thus, the May 2007 "Incremential Retirement" Roadtrip is born
