Senior Crew Posts: 121 Location: Western Washington State | Subject: Congrats Pat and Doc 28 days ago, we did number 42 and we also wonder, were did those years go. 1965 was a good year, and 2007 is just as good if not better, we're alive. Hopefully we'll survive to enjoy the fun of the 50 th. I hope Pat is better with pipe music than my Swiss lady, she does NOT like the good sounds than bagpipes emit. When you receive the chance to retire DO IT without hesitation. Just make sure you hide the brooms around the house, or have a good excuse to go somewhere. Retired husbands are great targets for wifes with a handy broom. Buy her a computer, put it with a TV in the kitchen, you'll survive a little bit easier. Don't go dutch treat when going out to dinner tonight and leave the pipes home.

Thanks to all "youse guys"; I'm sure Blue noticed the "watch cap" Pat is wearing in that photo. He had to leave two of them here because neither one of us wants to share. Last night we both were at band practice; the louder I played the pipes the harder she banged the drum. What a team we are; a piper and a drummer in the same house. Drives the dog nuts and she's a Scottie. She gave me a one year extension to go for #43; I asked if we could just sign up for #50 and she told me she'll get back to me on that; sigh, one year at a time; LOL  | ||

Drives the dog nuts and she's a Scottie. Forget the dog!! What about the neighbors? Now maybe you understand the dirty looks and extended middle fingers!  Sincere congratulations to you both despite all the caterwauling and banging! | ||
