(Image Details: What were you? You are looking at it, my new child.)

I don’t think I have gone for a long time without writing a blog post, nearly seven months! To be honest, I formulated some blog publications about the retirement that felt a lot during the liberation that I decided not to publish it at all. I have also written some of the Political Blog publications since the elections that I have never published, just to vent it a little. I have succeeded in both charges.

Over the past few months, I received email messages from many of you, wondering what happened- I wonder if I was going to write again. And many of these emails were not answered because writing what was the matter could be just a blog post, and B) I was not sure if I was He was Blog again. I learned this a lot in retirement: I have no idea what I will care about in the future. I just know what I care about now. This has changed several times over the past nine years of retirement-as I am sure that it will be in the future as well.

There is one question that is repeatedly asked in your emails, and it is the person who inspired me to check all of you today.

Are you well?

This is just sweeter questions, and I really wanted to know that I am fine. I am in good and happy health, and I still enjoy the retirement more and more with every year that passes. In fact, you may have been frequently spread if I am not fine-at least there will be some interesting challenge or an exciting problem to share.

Will you close your blog?

The other frequent question I get is if you have left blogging together. I don’t think I will want to get rid of the blog completely. I would like to have the ability to return to it if you are an inspiration for writing. Because who knows? But now I am a beautiful consumption of making music.

As you know I started taking piano lessons in jazz a few years ago. Then last fall, she joined the jazz piano in the local city college, which met three times a week. It was very cool I took it again in the spring. She took special audio lessons, moreover.

Last month, I spent an intense week in the jazz camp, followed by a summer school course in jazz improvisation. Now I take a chapter singing in jazz with a friend. I was working on the goal of accompanying myself on the piano while singing. It is very difficult but very fun. I even make great progress in The exact thing for the stage! Our friend Tom recently commented after hearing the quality of Doug playing for the guitar now, “You can really teach a new old dog!”

This is the amazing thing for me. Oh, this is something that exercises complete practice. (Well, I will take the “ideal” part, but it definitely guarantees improvement!)

Were you out of travel a lot?

We have a later planned biking trip this summer for Italy, which I look forward to. We also went to New York earlier this year, and we made a group of short trips, Portland, Seattle, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Scottisel-San Diego will come soon. Now that I wrote all of this, I think we were traveling a lot on my blog for seven months!

Perhaps for this reason I am very sick from travel now. While I always enjoy myself on our flights, I hate flight troubles (many of you can call), and I miss both My Kitty Cat And Biano when I go. I do not calm down any flights in 2018. I would like to make 2018 the year of residence. Avoid trouble and also restore part of the change you spent on a new piano two weeks ago (in the picture above – this is actually a two -year vacation budget. It may remain until 2019 as well.)

What do you think of these last elections?

I answered this email separately. You all know what I think-and many of you do not want me to write what I think-I know. I will admit, the impact of these elections on the stock market was amazing on my retirement spreadback. The increase has added five years of living expenses to nest eggs. Huge consolation prize. The balance has been steady to keep the 60/40 shares to customize the bonds under selection. This means that I took a lot of this earning from the table with a rise in the market. (This may be a good idea to spread the blog in the short term if my inspiration continues: What is my advice to those who are thinking about retirement at the present time, in the stock market at record levels. I have a lot to say about it from personal experience!)

I miss you!

Well, this is of course my favorite email. So thank you for these. I also miss you, which is of course my fault. If you already post more than once, I will not have to miss you!

Finally, I apologize to those of you who have not returned emails in the past seven months. I will try to catch up. Also for the requests of these journalists for the unanswered interviews. My heart was not in it. (Although I went out for the air last week, I had an interview that I will publish a link when it becomes available.)

Thanks to those of you who are still there!
