Occupations

Here we both are LL. Retired and enjoying our retirement.

But wait a minute, I am, but I'm not sure you are.

Another minute - I'm not actually 'retired', I have a conglomerate to oversee from time to time. No day to day involvement, but board meetings and strategy. The rest of the time - well, I enjoy myself and these days also enjoy being a bit of a sugar daddy. Photography, TV cook shows, book writing and quite a few other things like my horses, boats and painting (as in artist not a decorator) fill my life, along with family of course.

Mine is greatly expanded, as you know, with seven grandchildren between myself and my late wife, Ash. Our four adult children cover a fair range of occupations, along with their wives.

There's Brad who is on Wall Street handling our various companies finances with his team - he trained as an investment banker. Tom, who was until three years, ago a USMC (US Marines - LL) officer, Steve our IT, media and computer expert and his wife, who is a doctor. Brad's wife is a lawyer and Tom's - well she is special - why? Because she is a Special Agent with the FBI. Love playing with words😁.

I'll be in the UK for three days come Thursday. I have a wedding to attend in Hereford (not the one in Windsor!😊). Remember my friend Tim who was going to collect the baubles for me? Hereford, that should give you a clue as to who I am speaking about and his 'occupation'.

I bet you think I have forgotten the beads - no way - they belong mostly to my daughter and they, or their value, will return one day when I decide to take action. It's a matter of honor and justice. Good thing you don't live in the States - something has been re-instated. Don't want the Limitations Act (US Code 1652) to cut in.

You were very stupid over that matter and in making the decision you did - very stupid. Just think where you could be now. More or less wherever you like, with whatever you want, with a guy who loved you dearly.

When you make mistakes, and you have made more than most, you surely do make big ones.

Back to retirement. I have outlined my life in semi-retirement. What does yours consist of? No need to answer that. We both know it is pretty much the same old thing week in and week out - same with your vacations, more or less, with a few exceptions. You both made me laugh about that trip to Perth (the other one). You never saw Australia, you were merely on the fringes and, as I understand it, barely left the city.

Just as an example, and by way of comparison, I have been each and every year since 2007. Travelling around, exploring and generally having some great times. New companion, sadly, this year, but she is younger, a lot younger than me by over twenty years. You see LL I have no trouble attracting women at all. Someone different with me here in Lisbon, though.

Life is still fun, and filled with 'fun'. Not so sure about your life though.

I was never the boring one - you were. You just didn't/couldn't wait until I had recovered from my bereavement to find out who I really was. As the President would say - big mistake!

 

Ciao - Adiós - Au revoir - Farvel

(The last one is Danish - a clue as to the nationality of my companion here)
