That is, I hear what you (and others) are saying...but it might not be quite as easy to get out of a lifelong habit of obligation and working as you might expect, especially when the options explode out in front of you.

Seriously (and I'm not complaining), I'm about to start scheduling my leisure.

Geoff, lend us a hand here, will you?

Cheers,
