I'm already on my own countdown...to retirement!  A little ways to go before I become a 'Two-digit midget' (To use an old military term) though.

       I was on a cruise once. I slept 'til 9 AM one morning and missed the first 47 meals of the day. It was fun shooting golf balls off the deck and hitting ducks with an 8 iron.
