Well, that title might be a tad overly dramatic. But today is my last day at the United States Department of Education. They threw a very nice farewell party for me yesterday afternoon and I was reminded that I really have met some wonderful people in my four years at ED. I have some pictures to upload, but right now I have to get ready to go and catch that train to DC.
This whole transition from one life to another is almost surreal. Closing doors and saying goodbye does not get easier with age. And lord knows, I have had lots of practice.
Are you retiring, as in stopping work altogether, or retiring, as is moving on to something else?

Wow leaving a job is difficult–I’d like to hear the story behind it…You’re leaving us with just enough information that I want to hear more, John.
