[AccessD] OT: Anybody out there?

Sun Jan 5 16:31:51 CST 2025

Thanks for the advice.
I'm only a first-time retiree, not a repeat offender, so I've yet to learn
how to define and explain myself.  I've committed myself to a handover
phase but it seems that while it ain't broke that isn't even starting.
Officially retired seemed like a good enough shortcut explanation.

Two weeks ago I gained the honour of being able to call myself a first time
grandfather.  That has helped to redefine myself.  FWIW I'm 69.
