ERIKA HAYFLICK, RIDGEWOOD, NEW JERSEY: Hi, I'm Erika Hayflick from Ridgewood, New Jersey, and my question is for Mr. Bernard Shaw. What are your plans for your retirement?</s>BERNARD SHAW, CNN ANCHOR: Erika, thanks very much for asking about my future plans. When I leave CNN Feb. 28, I'll be stepping back from the day-to-day tussle of covering news and reporting news and writing news to work on my autobiography, which my editor and Random House have been waiting for for more than eight, nine years. When I'm not writing, I'll be spending time with my best friend, my wife, Linda, of 26 years; and with our two adult children, our daughter and our son. Basically, that's what I'll be doing. I'll have some other writing projects. And then, a year, year and a half from now after that autobiography is done, I'll look around and see what else I want to take up as a challenge. But that's what I'll be doing when I leave my favorite network.
