Well, today was a time to visit old friends, Norman in Bonita Springs and Gene and Linda in Naples.
Norman lives in a gated community called Bonita Bay and spends his days playing tennis or golf and is very happy spending the winter in Florida and the summer in Bethany Beach, Delaware. What a life. I practiced law with Norman for a few years and never thought he would retire because he is one of those type As who always has to be moving. But he has slid into retirement quite well. I applaud him. Plus he picked up the tab for lunch. He is the lean guy above with the golden retriever.
Gene and Linda are more "of the people". No gated community for them, although they do live on the second hole of the local golf course. Gene is the guy who mentored my wife thru her professional career, and is therefore most responsible for our own future retirement. Thank you, Gene. Carol , our friend from Maine, was visiting Gene and Linda and we all had a good time chatting in what I believe is called a "Florida" room.
Tomorrow on to Lake Mary before Peg leaves for Bangor and Wallie and I continue our quest.
