Hey Mike-it's good to hear from you.
Think you will like NC-that's where my wife & I would like to 'ease' into retirement in a few (?) years. That move will put you closer to your son, wouldn't it? Always nice to be close to the kids.
I've hit one of those modeling 'dry spells' after moving to take a new job-hopefully I can find the motivation soon-still hanging here in the forums.
Take care and hang out here more often.
