    Careful what you wash for :D I finally admitted to myself I cannot retire, at least not yet...despite the hobbies. At 60, I just worked my way out of a senior role with a startup, as planned. I am a bit bored and having trouble shutting down after 36 years of a fast treadmill. I am going...

    Ahhh the tech boom. I was a Divisional Controller at the time with a high flying tech company, and was once asked to hide, "bury" the cost of a couple golf carts that somehow became submarines at a Sales event, apparently topless caddies were involved as was a downhill race. Small change in...
