Yes, Steve ... I did ... a year and a half after the death of my first wife. Fast approaching the age of 50 - with my two kids already grown-up and self~sufficient, and me going nowhere career~wise - I thought "to hell with the 'rat race' ... I've had ENOUGH ... it's time to do what I want to do with the rest of MY life"! And I have NEVER regretted this decision... not once!
