Have a great trip! Since you're not retiring yet, can we have non-retirement cake? I want cake.

Looking forward to more dopey pontifications!! Cheers!

Glad to hear you're staying on. Have fun in Jamaica. We've been there several times and love it.

Doctor, you and the Mrs. deserve this break from reality and I hope the two of you are enjoying the sun and warmth of Jamaica! We go back a long time and since you left “THE CITY”, we haven’t seen one another in person! I hope that we meet again face-to-face in person and raise a toast to a long lasting friendship of almost 40 years! Sending love and hugs to you and Cathy!

Bob, I’m thrilled you’re going to keep writing. Your words add insight and entertainment for so many of us. As long as you write about tonight’s Pacer miracle, feel free to have a great anniversary trip!

Take that vacation!! First thing retired writers do is write more! Maybe about things that are more personal or meaningful...No more deadlines!!! Do it your way! The worst thing you could do is to

disappear..Stay connected, check in often.....Oh..You're NOT going to retire??? Well then---See you

when you get back..Pacers may still be in the playoffs and there is a small sporting event called the Indy 500 at the end of May...."Gentlemen, Start Your Keyboards."

This is great news! Really glad things are looking up, Bob. There are still going to be some rough days, but hopefully you're getting the help you need to cope.

Some advice on the trip... Don't bother with the herb they try to sell you at the airport. It's garbage. Instead, make friends with one of the staff at the resort. Tip them well and they'll steer you in the right direction.

Fabulous news, Bob. I want to believe that many of us who left comments on. how much you will be missed-also inspired you to reconsider your retirement decision. We will all be blessed to continue to read your insightful and needed thoughts on sports and the world that surrounds them. Thank you!
