    Final Day at Work - Start of Retirement!

    June 30th was my last day at work, kilted as it happens, before starting my retirement. Based on comments at my retirement function, apparently I was known for my kilt wardrobe (big surprise that).







    With Canada Day on July 1st, wore my Maple Leaf tartan (also had the flag mounted outside my office).

    I too wore a kilt on my last day of work 1.5 years ago.
    Congratulations!

    Congrats. Many of my retired customers are so busy they wonder how they lived before. They dont have time for work.

    Welcome to the fraternity of we who have walked out the door kilted. And what has been said is true . . . you'll wonder how you ever found time for work. Congratulations.
