#74 - So Long USAF & Hope this Condo Sells! After 28 years in the Air Force, the adventure comes to an end, alas, not without a hiccup. Moving from the military and the labyrinth that is the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is a challenge. Next is looking at options if I decide to work in a post-retirement world and that is an adventure all to itself. Finally, the last condo is sold just a few days before the mortgage is due and that was just plain lucky! I come up with a creative way to make the sale. Thank you for listening.

#69 - Thanksgivings of Yesteryear. This episode shares some Thanksgivings from the farm forward and a movie and a song that, for me, kick off the holiday season.
