Life in the Ville by Jimmy Del Ponte

I’ve been retired for almost five years. I miss that nice paycheck every week and my former work buddies but that’s it. I don’t miss the bosses at all. In fact, I have a recurring nightmare that has one of my past bosses terrorizing me. I don’t miss getting up early every day. I don’t miss cleaning the car off when it snows. I don’t miss taking orders from a little twerp – lol.
