Mrs Italy has often remarked about her high school classmates who went to work for Delco or GM right out of HS, are now retired traveling around in their motor home and here she is with her degree still working. Me? I retired after 21 years in the Infantry, have worked a couple of odd jobs and now I'm Mr. Mom w/o the kids and enjoying every moment ^

Why would you want to live in a motor home? For what its worth, my folks retired to El Paso....and decided they didn't like being retired yet...both now work in higher education (one for EPCC and one for UTEP).

But, I will say, one thing El Paso has we don't get in Rome is the live broadcast from the Met. This year they are doing the full season digitally sent to movie theatres around the globe. The cinemark by Cielo Vista Mall (whre the walmart, sams is....of Viscount or Hawkings I think) is the one with it. I saw Renee Flemming over the Christmas holidays. Was fabulous!
You'd think we'd get opera in the movie theatre here in Rome...but no.

You can always drive to Milan 
There is some fishing in El Paso, well, you have to drive to get there.
Despite the criminal activity in Juarez, El Paso is not a bad place.
At least my new office in Juarez is in the second floor, near the warehouse, and the walls are solid concrete, so the bullets have little chance.
I better not peak through the window too often though

This is really cool..
Talk about innovative media buys, Miller High Life will air one-second spots for the Super Bowl. Yes, it's true. And looking at the creative, I think it can work. Not to mention the PR value. Smart and hilarious.
