As one who's just given my (non-theatrical) employer notice that I'll be retiring in December 2016, this is *exactly* what I'm looking forward to, along with growing my photography business to the point where it at least keeps me in photo gear upgrades my modest retirement pension probably won't cover ... and the time to continue doing theatre projects for free without having to kill myself from lack of sleep!<br>
<br>
I take inspiration from all of you stepping joyously into that next open door...<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
