I really like this song.  It's about a guys last day driving his rig.  It must be good to know

when your last day of work happens and to be able to celebrate. For me it just happened

and I didn't realise that it was my last day as a Registered Nurse.  It took a few years for

me to realise that I would never go back to work and a few more years after that to

realise how lucky I am.  Retirement is fantastic!  But I digress.....

Hope you like the dance - I do.

See you on the floor sometime.........  Jan
