It has come time in the flight plan of my life to cross another waypoint. In just a few weeks I'll be starting a new leg of this journey labeled. retirement. This doesn't come as a sudden amendment to my route. Almost four years ago I informed the AOPA Board of Trustees that I would be leaving at the end of 2007, noting that I would be beyond the normal mid-60 retirement age. With all cylinders running smoothly in my body, I extended that leg to the end of 2008, and now the fix is clearly within view. Since I have worked full time since I was 17 years old, I look forward to the opportunity to be more in control of my daily life.
