[nagdu] Put in my application

[Tracy Carcione via nagdu]

Well, this morning I put in my application to TSE for Ben's successor, 
though I don't want any real action on it for a while yet.  Ben will be ten 
in October.  He is in excellent health, though he is slowing down a little. 
I think that, possibly by Winter, and definitely by Spring, he will be ready 
to hang up his harness and live the life of leisure.  I'm not telling him 
that, once he retires, he will be allowed long walks with nothing to do but 
sniff and pee, or he'd quit today.
I'm not looking forward to breaking in a young, green whippersnapper, but 
the wheel turns and the big guy has certainly worked hard and earned the 
right to flop down and put his feet up.
