I just turned 49 and fingers crossed if everything goes well I should be able to retire when I am 84 lol. well Phil, you just gave me my 1st retirement Sid Caesar 'spit coffee take' LOL On other note, Wife is depressed, I dont blame her, had a major gig going for last 16 years, empty nest, no job (outsideof home, dont kill me) and now she has a Type A pain in the ass here. So I have feeling I may be flying up for a few games next year and I also have a summer camp planned next year w/beat writers where I said I will pay for everyones lunch. I told Connor Hughes to plan, Invited Sandler also and told them hopefully you could be there. If, big IF it comes thru I will contact you..

College roommate, from Binghamton, had to move here as his family was relocated to Charlotte with IBM in the 80's. When I wanted to move, I knew ONE person in Charlotte. So I moved here in the mid 90's. LOVE IT!!!! Started the Charlotte Jets fans club in 2009. and I see you are a loyal Tar Heel fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenFish Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I don't know whether to congratulate you or send my condolences. Now you'll have a ton of time to reflect on the performance of your New York Jets each week. You might drive yourself crazy. $10 you will be back at work the minute Bowles punts from the opponents 37 yard line in the 4th when we are down 14 points.
