Let the countdown begin!

I looked on my "Retirement Income Projection" gizmo at work, and have determined that I can retire in 10 years and 17 days.

I will be in a single-digit countdown starting on my birthday.

As I count my blessings:

1) I have collected many friends around the country and the globe, and will enjoy visiting/crashing on their couches. Of course, many of these people remember me marginally, (if at all) so there will be those "Honey, who is that guy again?" questions.


I plan to travel in this manner until word of my (anticipated)incontinence speads.

2) I'll probably be able to save money by hitchhiking.

3) Baby and I will be able to spend as much time at the beach as we like!

I will be doing some preliminary couch surfing over the next several years, as till retirement I have to travel "on the cheap" to make my grandiose visions come true.

All readers who wish to host me in their city, just let me know.

Who's first?

  3. Dear Jay,

    What a joy it was to read your future travel plans. Needless to say, you are always welcome to stay here in Schwabenland with your illigitimate German children. We have all missed you buckets since you left Mutter for Baby. Little Gerhard is 6 foot 2 now and can't wait to play with Papa. Josie is a Dike and Liza, your "Purty Pumpkin", is the biggest coke dealer in Baden Wuerttemburg. Rasputin just turned 16 and plays guitar pretty badly, like someone else we all know, and Josie has two bastards and another bitch in the oven. The government pays for all her medical bills and gives her spending money to boot. She'll make you proud. As for me, Mutter says I lie around on my 3@*!% a lot, like my Papa used to do. Is that tue?

    You know where we live, so stop being a stranger and come on back to where you belong. Mutter has a bank account where you can easily deposit your retirement check. Bring Baby along too. We can use some help come plantin time.

    Wir Lieben dich sehr,

  4. Ah, you clever b@stards.. "Purty Pumpkin" and "Rasputin?"

    Still probably better than the "Lyle" and "Erik" I have now.

  5. So it sounds like many happy trails ahead for us all! I'm not sure where I'll begin my life as an expat, but when I figure it out you're welcome to crash on my couch.
