07/06/05    Mike Robbins has retired from the 9-5 grind. Can it be long for the rest of us? Initial reports are that he is having a wonderful time, living the Life of Reiley. He writes, "I had reached the point where I was no longer having any fun (all my staff was doing the fun stuff). Retiring was in order and much more fun than quitting. I have spent most of the past two months turning my raw, dirty garage into a clean, bright workshop. I am having so much fun that I told Louise that when I finish, I am going to take it all apart and start over. Instant gratification. You build something and it sits there staring at you. Hammers don't crash."

He is looking in to having a book he wrote in the 1970s called Electronic Clocks and Watches republished - maybe through the web or some other publisher like www.Lulu.com.
