Jeff,
SO GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOu! We miss you here on the forum! And I am grateful for your post as well. I too, am tied to a desk 40 hours a week with the dream of escape as soon as I am financially able. The temptation to chuck it all and live like a bum is very tempting until I think of how expensive health insurance is!!

Believe me, two and a half years for you to take an early retirment from the government is NOTHING. That time will fly by and can be well used drawing and painting. I know you have a young one at home, but I believe you can make something work for you which includes art, even if you are not selling allot in 2 years. I have often thought of substitute teaching (anyone can, with a college degree) which is like working part time as you can choose how much to work and a school days ends pretty early! Just a brainstorming idea for you.

I am excited for your opportunity in a couple years.
