Good morning and TGIF. Sunny and dry here today, temps should reach 82. Ground is soggy, hope it gets a few days to dry out.

Eldest GS is coming home for the weekend to catch playoff hockey and basketball games. We hope to share brunch with he and his folks on Sunday. it's always fun to see him and hug his neck.

Thanks to all for your comments on retirement, I will have to re-think this. My BIL retired end of December and my sister told me to never ever retire at end of calendar year as no one wants to talk to you at that time, i.e., insurance, medicare etc. They have had many bumps in the road and are still learning to deal with both being together all day. She's always had 8 to 5 by herself but I expect they will work it out. We enjoy each others' company, even after more than 50 years, so I'm not worried about that.

Now, about my biggest worry - retirement health care. My company no longer offers it to retirees. Does anyone want to share what they do? Is plain old Medicare the best? I understand different states and even different areas within states have different carriers. My head gets dizzy just trying to think about it. And it seems that anyone I could talk to about it just wants to sell me their plan. If you're tired of talking about this please just ignore me.
