On a crisp autumn evening, such as today, taking a short dip in our hot tub can be restful yet invigorating. Coming home after a hard day's work to this pool can seem nearly perfect.

Oh yeah, wait a minute. I don't work hard anymore. In fact, I shuffled away from my last BCIT class four years ago next month. Retiring early has been one of the best decisions of my life. We've had an additionally adventurous life now that we own all of our own time.
