I’ve been really reluctant to say “the last this…the last that….the last time…,” etc. in regards to my retirement. It’s like saying my four month European trip for sabbatical was a “trip of a lifetime.” The trip was certainly amazing, and some parts, okay maybe, many parts, cannot be repeated – but I never planned […]
