All I long for, all I have longed for for years is to retire (prior to wanting to retire, my ambition was to play). Given a chance not to work, I would take it. However, this is not because of laziness or some inherent trait of sloth. Rather it is because I want to pursue my own interests and ideas; I want to do my own thing. One of the saddest things I find in talking with people about not working (aside from obvious disapproval) is that they like working, they would get bored not working, after all, there is only so much TV one can watch.

Did he like his haircut?

MOI: it is a hard habit to stop. I remember at my first job, my boss told me that he thought I would never settle down and stop asking questions.
tin-tin: thanks!
freckled-one: I know it won't. I wish I had kept a journal and recorded more memories of the kids. We do have lots and lots of photos, though.
