Weekly Round Up: Countdown & A Quickie Dinner

 

A weekly round up: eats, workouts, watches, and reads.  This week I inched closer to the finish line on early retirement, found a good quickie dinner, and DNF'd the hot It book of the moment.

I'm Retiring on Friday. What's My Plan?

Time flies.  Two years ago I wrote a post called Operation Endgame where I vented about my work situation and casually mentioned that financially speaking, I didn't need to work any longer.  I outlined a couple of options, one of which was continuing to work until I was 50 just to be sure that leaving work was what I really wanted.

If there is one thing that we can say for sure, leaving work at the age of 50 is something that I want even more now than I wanted it two years ago.  

My last day of work is this Friday, October 31st, so let's talk about the game plan.  Why am I leaving work?  What will I do for money?  What will I do with my time?  What will happen when I walk through that open door on my jail cell?

The Great Alfred Hitchcock Rewatch: The Five Final Films

Welcome to the first recap post of The Great Alfred Hitchcock Rewatch!  I'm rewatching all of his movies, starting with the last one and working my way backwards.  I'll be doing recaps every five movies or so.

Weekly Round Up: Camouflage

 

A weekly round up: eats, workouts, watches, and reads.  This week Doggo adopted a hidden in plain sight hangout in the back yard, and I'm using the same approach to get through my final days at work

The Great Alfred Hitchcock Rewatch

Friends, I am about to leave my job for early retirement and winter is coming.  I need a project that can be done indoors.  Hmm...how about rewatching all of the Alfred Hitchcock movies?  There are 53 of them that were made over the course of 51 years, so that should keep me busy for a bit.

Weekly Round Up: Catch Up Edition

A weekly round up: eats, workouts, watches, and reads. Around here, we use the term "weekly" pretty loosely, so this post is to catch us up on everything that's happened since I got back from The Great Maritime Bender.

Let's Go Places: Halifax, Nova Scotia

 

Friends, today is bittersweet.  We have reached the final 24 hours of the Great Maritimes Bender.  It's going to be sad to leave, but there are still a few more adventures to be had.
