We started thinking about retirement in mid-March when covid-19 caused the public schools to close. Then when people we know in the education and childcare department told us what we could likely expect in new regulations that confirmed for us that retirement was a good idea.

I don't think this virus is going away easily or quickly and we will all be having a new normal for some time.

Spanish Flu is still around aint likely this one will kick it any sooner.

So I guess in the end we all have to decide what we're willing to give up for the rest of our lives   After all, there still is not a complete Flu vaccine....lest folks not realize, it's a 1 in 3 vax that might work if you get the right flu an all...but won't if ya don't....

Guess they could do the same for this coronavirus and call it a vax so we can get back to it

Ok, so here's a voice from the past! 

Hello all (figured this is just the place to show up after such a long hiatus - good as any, I guess)

I too, was pretty much forced to retire because of this thing that is commonly called corona virus... altho I've heard it called many other things (no, real scientific names, not the other ones  )

I have a story to tell, but will save that for my own post.
