The Ticket has been purchased.

I think I should have bought my ticket for China months ago. I was going to buy a roundtrip ticket to China, but they will only book a roundtrip ticket 320 days out.

I think i waited too long and it ended up costing more than expected. I did get apporval from the school to by the ticket, but it cost $867. Ouch.

It is quite different going from working 50-60-70 hours per week to not working at all. I am quite sure I will have a hard time when/if I retire.

By then, maybe I will have a wife that will help drive me to excellence in retirement.

I did have a great 4th of July celebration with my family. My brothers-in-law bought a ton of fireworks. Okay, maybe a little less than a ton, but I think their show was even better than the city fireworks show and that is saying something.

Have a wonderful day!

Love ya,

James :-)
