Mik's retirement thread
So Mik announced in another thread that he's retiring soon.

He's already said he plans to start spending regular time at the bench, but that still leaves him a lot of time to fill.

Post your suggestions here! Evil

Plan on spending a few hours every afternoon sitting on your front porch. The hours right after school ends are the highest risk time for kids being on your lawn…

Quirt and I have taken up ballroom dancing. Call it our pre-retirement hobby. Maybe you could go all out in the arts--afternoons on the bench and evenings on the dance floor. Smiler

It's reasonably good exercise and it's a lot of fun!

1. I like kids more than my lawn.

2. I suggested MFR and I take ballroom dancing. She declined.

3. She’s already terrified I will drag her to BBQ competitions.

Mary Anna asked me to do it as her birthday present last year. No way to say no to that.

Oh how cool!!!

Now you have to watch (if you haven't seen it already) "Shall We Dance" (the original of course).

We should do that!

Coincidentally, "Shall We Dance?" is the name of our studio. Every time I see it in writing, I get a The King and I earworm that lasts for hours.

Nah. I just compete with myself to get better. Why cast my smoky pearls before swine?
