I used to travel a lot for work before I took early retirement. I hated it and I knew I hated it. The work was usually OK, but I wanted to get home at night. I don't think I've stayed in a hotel in the past 18 years, and I certainly haven't flown. I got to some nice places, but sometimes all I saw was an office and a soulless hotel. Even when I was working I tried to avoid expense account hotels - in the UK I'd stay at a pub or B&B if I could. If I was abroad I never ate in the hotel & always tried to stay in a city centre, so at least I could explore in the evening. Hotels by an airport or on a ring-road were the worst. I've no idea whether I still own a tie or a suit, but again I've not worn either in 18 years. Giving up work was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I thought I'd have to take at least some work on, but we tightened our belts a bit & found we could afford it. We still had the kids at home, and me not working made everything so much easier for all of us.
...and eventually it gave me much more time to explore my little side...
This is a tough one. So many good movies. So many bad ones too... but even some of those bad ones are still fun to watch! I guess another way to ask the question - what movies would you watch over and over?
Pretty much anything Star Trek (even the JJ universe is still entertaining).
OG Star Wars, followed by the "prequels". The later stuff was just insulting.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Galaxy Quest (NEVER GIVE UP - NEVER SURRENDER!)
Ferris Bueler's Day Off
The Back To The Future trilogy
And there are others, but if I were to enter a room and one of these is playing... I'm staying. 😄 (even though I have all of them here at home and can watch any time).
Just put on an Abena L4 plastic backed diaper covered with Baby Pants Peva Plastic pants. I'm sitting in my recliner in the living room doing my own version of "streaming". I may even do some "downloading" later.
Don't worry about it~ Feel free to read when you wish, not because an update dropped.
Glad you love Reuben! Tried to make him immensely likeable, so I'm glad I did my job there. And the meeting...well, we shall certainly see~
