[Leica] OT: I've retired

[pklein at threshinc.com (Peter Klein)]

LUG friends:  Today is the first day of the rest of my life. As of 
today, I have retired from my corporate IT job. I recently hit the sixty 
year mark, so I'm a bit younger than the traditional American age. But 
given the many changes that have taken place in the workplace in recent 
years (he said, politely), it's time. Fortunately, we can do it.

I hope to begin a new chapter in my life where I can exercise my true 
passions more fully, namely music, writing and photography. I'm going to 
let the balance between them (and just enjoying myself) work itself out 
over time.

Wish me luck! I'd love to hear from anyone (either here or privately) 
who has been though this transition and has some tips for dealing 
gracefully with the changes.
