I'm in transition. After 28 years of teaching, I'm retiring in June and very part time at the moment. I've always written: letters, newsletters, rants that might or might not be posted on face book, essays. I'm not really big on fiction writing which is why it's a bit strange to have this story as my first post. I saw the contest on the home page and it just popped into my head. My actual plan for retirement is to write about the outdoors and environmental issues. So we'll see where that goes. Hope you get a smile out this one.
