We're all very jealous Derek! I still have another 10 years or so If I'm lucky and win the lotto or marry a rich widow.

Just think of all the figs you can build and paint now.

Best wishes!

Congrats! I fear your "free time" will be limited though. You home, the wife still working......
Your "Honey Do" list should resemble the Manhatten Phonebook soon.

Good luck. ;-)
