UNEMPLOYMENT

Baby Sister retired near two months ago after 32 years of faithful service to a single employer.

After a visit with her last week, I have detected remarkable changes in my youthful sibling:

* No frowns and no "crows feet" around the eyes, just a relaxed perpetual smile

* Jokes, light hearted conversation, and focus on all the fun things in the future

* A prance in her step, a saucy direct gaze at the world, and an eagerness to greet each new day

* Complete satisfaction in a job well done, a rewarding career, and well earned leisure

If there is ever a contest for the retirement "poster girl", I wish to at this time to formally nominate CAROLYN JEAN!

Have patience and wait for me little one, ole fat bro will join you one day soon in the eternal bliss of permanent unemployment.
