I feel like time is going by so slowly now that I've decided to retire, at least it seems so. Three months ago I hadn't even had the thought, but now that it's a decision made, I want it to be now, lol. But, it can't be now, it has to be later, but not too much later at least. About 51 days now till my last day in the profession. My profession of the past 33 years if you don't count the two years of security police work in the Navy at Roosevelt Roads Naval Station in Puerto Rico. I'll just count that as the warm up before getting to the main event.

I graduated from the police academy here in Texas back in 1980. My two oldest boys were just babies back then, and the other three kids were not even thought of yet. To say I've been on a roller coaster ride through life would be an understatement, but suffice it to say, I'm about ready for some time with little to no drama involved, lol. Not to say I didn't bring most of it on myself, I contributed big time to the disasters that cropped up now and again, no doubt. But, I don't want to do that anymore. The old saying the British had during the war, "Keep Calm and Carry On" would seem to fit how I've been doing it all these years, but now I just want the calm part. I just want to move on in peace. I'd really like to have everyone forgive and forget, and move on to a better life where I've not dropped the ball too many times.

Hey, I can wish, can't I?
