Thanks Dana,
I worked hard for what I did - no harder than most people here tho.   You just keep going no matter how many rejections you get.  Never quit, never give up.  Now,.... I need a rest.
Dave

d for you Dave. I could retire next year, but I'm shooting for 4 more
years, which would make 30. I never thought I would live this long, much
less work this long. My worry is what to do after retirement.
