Sometimes I think you write a column just for me Albert, this is one of them as I only have 16 days left in my time in the job you and I met through. It is time for me to ride back to "ranch," and watch the sunrise and the sunset. But beyond the personal message to me and to the larger point of your post, you are spot on. Too many, especially those in the public eye, are unwilling to give up the spotlight when people might ask why are they retiring. They chose instead to stay center-stage well past the time folks are asking why didn't they retire X years ago. Oh and don't forget you've got an open invitation to ride on out to "ranch," pop some caps, swap stories, sip some whiskey (that Japanese stuff is quite good), and watch old movies with me.

Thank you for the comment. You have done well and should look back with firm satisfaction.
