RR,

Geez, "retirement" means different things to different people!

Sounds like your business is booming; besides that, training associates can be a (practically) full-time job itself sometimes. Lots of excitement on the horizon. Why am I not surprised?

RR, no way is the word retirement in your personal dictionary. You will be going 8 cylinders when you are 100 years old!

<<...our business is running on all cylinders. And to think I retired 9 years ago...>>

RR: Congrats on the growth and expansion...I don't think many of us will ever really retire -- we just move on to a new chapter in our lives. On Sunday night at a restaurant I took a legal pad and started to map out my life (from the college years to today and then out onto the horizon as far as I could see)...It was an interesting exercise and I plan to spend more time with it this weekend.

Hope you're having a productive week.

regards,

-Scott

Hey traveling man! Carry-on coffee allowed again at airports..........

James Loy, who replaced John Magaw last month as TSA chief, said the agency wants to balance customer service and security. He announced Thursday that passengers will be allowed to carry beverages in paper or foam cups through metal detectors.

Until now, the policy has varied from airport to airport, Wascom said. "Today's announcement reflects a more common-sense approach that TSA is undertaking," he said.

The new policy requires plastic, glass, metal and ceramic containers to be sealed and put through the X-ray screening machine. An open can of soda won't be allowed through a checkpoint, but a bottle of soda with a sealable top will.

Hello Troops! Morning! Been reading the Porch just about every day. Have had a sick family member plus a couple of other major things hit all at once, so have not had time to post. Hopefully this week I can get a bit more time to do so.

Looks to be a hot day here. No wind, 85 degrees already.

Hope everyone has been making some moooooney in this market.

RR
