I retired after a 40-year career in the property management industry in New York City. It provided a good life for me and my family but continuing on in that business is the last thing I want to do at this time in my life.
Bless you Steve!
Our family name is Hammer. My given first name is Mitchell but most people automatically shorten it to Mitch (I heard the full Mitchell when my mother was angered by or annoyed with me) and many others misread it and called me Michelle. When our son was born we decided to name him Michael. Yes, Mike Hammer but we figured, that most of his contemporaries would have no knowledge of the Mickey Spillane novels, movies, or tv shows about Mike Hammer, Private Eye. We were correct but instead, both of us have listened to nicknames such as Hammerhead, M.C. Hammer, etc.
My teenage nickname was salami.
My wife Barbara, is Barb to all.

I do not have LTC insurance so I am holding on to my HSA account funds to pay those actual medical expenses when they occur.
