Great approach! Minimalism is my middle name. I aspire to own nothing physical in my later years. Now, if we could spread the gospel to others....

: Hey Stuart, I wondered what happened to you.
: Hadn't seen you at the races for some time.
: But then, I haven't been to very many races

: just read the good news.

: My wife and I sold right around the same

:
: I have been gone from Naples Fl, now for 6

:
: It's different, the lifestyle is a little
: more rural but just like your post I never
: want to be that guy who devotes his life to
: one calling only to be left high and dry. I
: have new challenges and new barriers to
: break down. It's exciting.
:
: I do miss some friends and the white sandy
: beaches but life has new purpose again
: instead of that semi state of ennui.
:
: Better break out the granny ring though Rob,
: I hear there are hills out there...
:
: Good luck
