Monday, May 19, 2014...It's Monday and you don't have to work!

Remember the good old days?  You had to drag yourself out of bed on a Monday morning and go out and fight the rush hour traffic and then try to reorganize after a weekend of fun and frolic and housework.

Well, now that you're retired, you don't have to do that anymore.  Enjoy the peace and quiet of the day.  Listen to the news and hear about the snarls on the freeway and snicker.  Watch the snow beautifully fall gently, clogging the streets, snicker some more.  Have a second cup of coffee and relax.

This is just a gentle reminder - in case you forgot about MONDAYS!
