Wait a minute. What am I doing? I’m retired now!
Scratch that list. Let me tell you about my new passion project instead. I’m building the world’s most elaborate wedding-themed model train set in my basement. Picture this: a sprawling 500 square foot layout with multiple levels, representing every wedding venue I’ve ever officiated at!
There’s Tiny Town Hall, complete with a working clock tower that chimes “Here Comes the Bride” every hour. The Miniature Mountain Resort features a chair lift for adventurous cake toppers. And don’t get me started on the Beach Wedding Beach – yes, I’m shipping in real sand!
I’ve got a fleet of trains: the Matrimony Express, the Ring Bearer Railway, and the Honeymoon Bullet Train (it’s very fast, if you know what I mean). Each station plays a different wedding song, and I’m installing a complex system of mirrors so I can see every angle without crawling under the table.
Sure, my family complains about losing the entire basement. My wife says she misses having a laundry room, and the kids whine about their old play area. But I remind them: we all must make sacrifices for love… and by “love,” I mean my obsession with tiny trains and even tinier wedding parties.
Next week, I’m installing a working chocolate fountain the size of a thimble. It’s going to be glorious, assuming I don’t flood the entire layout with liquid chocolate. But hey, that’s what retirement is all about – taking risks and ruining perfectly good basements!
Scott’s Retirement Special: The Ultimate Egg Salad Sandwich
Ingredients:
- Eggs (preferably laid by hens who’ve had fulfilling careers and are now enjoying their golden years)
- Mayonnaise (an amount that would make a cardiologist weep)
- Mustard (Dijon, because we’re fancy in retirement)
- Celery (finely chopped, like the hopes and dreams of people who thought I’d officiate their wedding next year)
- Salt and pepper (to taste, much like my fabulous suits)
- Bread (preferably not stale, unlike some of my wedding jokes)
Instructions:
- Boil the eggs with the same care you’d use to craft personalized vows. Let them cool, contemplating life’s mysteries.
- Peel the eggs while reminiscing about all the nervous grooms you’ve seen fumble with cufflinks.
- Mash the eggs in a bowl. If you’re feeling nostalgic for your officiant days, whisper “You may now mash the eggs” to yourself.
- Mix in mayonnaise, mustard, and celery with the precision of a bride planning a seating chart.
- Season with salt and pepper. Remember, like marriage, it’s all about balance.
- Spread on bread with the delicate touch you once used to hand over marriage certificates.
- Cut diagonally and serve.
