Congrats Michael..I know you are still involved in the business at this point, but maybe you are on your way towards retirement? Since we packed it in on Labour Day I have not had a single regret. At this point our only decision each day is which way to face the sun. In May I think our biggest decisions will be whether to go golfing or not.
