I didn't retire from the AF, might have had there been no war at the time, and I too retired from IT. Hope you are loving it like I am.<BR/><BR/>I love beer, cigars, old tales, military things, and just good conversation.<BR/><BR/>Come visit dude!fuzzbert_1999@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08523386203834736598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-4101738866628912332007-08-31T11:24:00.000-06:002007-08-31T11:24:00.000-06:00Shelly sez: I'm sure you can find some other vice...Shelly sez: <I>I'm sure you can find some other vices..</I><BR/><BR/>{sigh} You're probably right, Shelly, but at my age the vices I LIKE seem to be few and pretty far in between.
