ABOUT US
Alex and Rowland are "retirees", after active careers of more than 40 years each. We are both engaged in some ongoing professional activities, while being able to enjoy the freeedom of managing our own time. As part of the transition to our new life, we sold the large family home of 20 years and moved to a much smaller villa. We live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, as do our two sons, our daughter in law and beautiful 4-year-old granddaughter.
Here we are on the obligatory "Retirement Cruise" adventure in the Aegean, in November 2011 aboard Seabourn Odyssey. The photo was taken as we approached Kotor, Montenegro at sunrise, around 6:00 a.m.
The cruise was the beginning of our new pursuit of "meaningful enjoyment". Our goal is "to boldly lime* as no boomer has limed before!"**
Our e-mail addresses are:
rowlandharrison@shaw.ca
acharris@ucalgary.ca
* "To lime", a colloquial term from Grenada, loosely meaning "to chill out".
** With an admiring nod to Captain James Cook of H.M.S. Endeavour and Captain James Kirk of the Starship Enterprise.

Happy in retirement or what!
Update (after 4 years of "retirement"): Considering how long it takes to do "nothing" in our new lives, how did we ever find the time to do everything (when we were both working)!
