Congradulations on retiring. I retired about three years ago. I think moving at retirement is a great idea… deal with the stuff. Much easier to do if moving… you have to. I have the best audio room I could imagine, so we can’t move. So we are remodeling the house to be the way we always wanted it.

Yes, Cleveland, OH. Very familiar with University Circle since it is not to far from the Cleveland Clinic where my son and daughter-in-law are physicians. Since I am only 67 it seams the right time to move before I get much older and find it more difficult to move.

Congrats! You are going to love retirement. Cleveland actually has a lot going for it, and doesn't deserve the nickname they called it in my hometown. ("The mistake on the lake.")

Good for you Paul. Been retired for many years and there is nothing like it. Have a good move and be sure to post a pic of your new room when you are all moved in.

Paul, retirement is great when you have someone to share it with.

Hope you and your wife enjoy Cleveland.

Congratulation!

I retired in late 2019 and we relocated in 2020. It was a lot of work and created some mental disruption but made it through.

I just can't figure out why my Honey Do list got so large and why I'm so busy now.

Congratulations Paul - having been born in Berea (Ohio, not Kentucky) I know what a great area Cleveland has, and heck, you're not far from Cedar Point. If the thought of those roller coasters doesn't do your back any favors, go to Put-in-Bay for historical contemplation about O.H. Perry's victory in the war of 1812 while you quaff a few at the Roundhouse bar, where my old man got arrested one night while on leave from Uncle Sam's army back in the Eisenhower era. IMO the only downside is if you're in the area that gets the lake effect snow - having grown up in Toledo, as kids we'd be bummed to hear they got 12" in Cleveland when we just got a cold breeze from Indiana. Cleveland Clinic, as you know, is top flight. Congratulations!
