[dba-Tech] Retired at last

Well, dear friend, as long as you don't abandon all of us, I guess it's 
okay to stop programming.  If you really can, that is.

I would love to read some of your screenplays, when you are ready to share.

With as many different passions as many of us have, we simply have to 
have several careers in our lifetimes.  Good thing to live a long life, 
so we can squeeze in time for all of our big interests.

Best to you,
T
