It had been too long. It is one of the things that made AE have that REAL family feel.

I started a new job today.  It's in the same industry I have been in for 42 years but NO MORE TRAVELING 3-5 days per week.  I'll be home every night.  I won't know how to act without living in hotels.  Along with being home I'm getting equal pay and better benefits.

That's awesome! So happy to hear that.  After your last...umm... transition, you deserve this.

Damn. That's a long time in the planes, trains and automobiles racket. Congrats!!

I miss business travel, but I had the perfect gig. 3 days a week, no more than twice a month and usually just once. Just enough to see a lot of places and take a break from the office every once in awhile. Sometimes it still sucked, though, like being in some no-name town in Ohio when it's 40 degrees and raining the entire time. Man, it's crazy how parts of the Midwest can just be entirely gray at certain times. I still miss that, though.

I enjoyed the traveling my boss was fantastic to work for he allowed me to select what hotel so I picked the  Marriott chain this was in 1982. After being a member of their travel club for almost 40 years and 3 million points later the wife and I can just about go anywhere and stay free for a long time.

We discussed that before I made the decision.  We think it will work out.  😂

Good luck with this.  I retired after a 34 year career that involved a lot of travel, my wife retired the same year from teaching.  I begged her to keep teaching, but alas no joy.  She kept saying she wasn’t going to leave for work with me still in the bed.  I told her I would get up.  Still no joy.

The first year I realized since I had been traveling, she had made house rules that I wasn’t even aware of.  It definitely was a transition.  I was reduced to a house boy and had to get hearing aids.

This made me laugh.

Complicated transition, I can imagine.

Yeah but are you driving the wife insane?

Watching Bigbird sparing with Mikey about the OL is like Trey Gowdy sparing with Peter Strzok. Very entertaining.
