on saturday night with my son and his mate.

Well Best of Luck to you Konifur!
Enjoy your time off and remember that most changes usually work out for the good!
It just so happens that my status as unemployed has taken a change....Yesterday I was offered two opportunities that are quite lucrative and on the water! One of the offers is here on Guam and the other will have me based out of Hawaii. True...I did undergo some difficulties waiting for something to turn up in my profession....but it was worth the wait. I just cannot imagine someone of your caliber unemployed for long.
BTW that offer of coming to Guam for holiday still stands. Mind you that the time you might spend here will be nothing like a tourist experience. I have been here close to twenty years, and am a "local" so I know how to save money/expenses.
OK 'nuff said....Good Luck Brother!
