Just found out that my old company is layoffing off more people this Summer, so there may be more people interested in a second career perhaps? I run a group for ex-employees of NII Holdings at this link. We seem to be getting more activity on the group, which is understandable.
In the meantime, I am studying for my upcoming Canadian Financial Planner exam on retirement planning, employing successful methods that I used when Jimmy Carter was President and most telephones had rotary dials and they all had wires.

- Planted lots of flowers.
