In case any of you are reading this. I am just checking in to let you know tha I am still alive.
A little bored. It is strange when you go from working 50+ hours a week to not working at all. I don't think I will do well with retirement. Maybe I won't have to.
I hope the Lord returns before then, but if not pray that God sends me a wife that will keep me busy, because I am finding out just how lazy I can be.
Talk to you all later,
James :-)
