I filled for my retirement last month. My last day at work is August
31. Yesssssssssss!!!!!!!!
I am 52 years old and decrepit. Just me, my dog and a few chickens.
And of course my gardens to tend! Ah yes the hermits life at last

retirement is very
nice.

decrepitude is much
more manageable when
you don't have to live
by someone else's
schedule and you don't
have to perform for
others unless you wish.

good luck these
next few months Dan.

I plan on increasing my knowledge of particle physics and tensor
calculus during the winter. Increase my knowledge of biology and
gardening in the summer. This will be all self taught at my own pace.
Ahhh the good life begins, I now have time to this

Oh yes, Cooking will be year round. I find I like the culinary
textbooks more enjoyable over the regular recipe cook books.


Between the garden and the calculus you have two out three essentail
activities (physical and mental) covered but what about social?

Hmmm... Does the Master Gardeners Association count?
As for companionship, does the dog count or the local prostitute count
From observing past friends relationships, I have learned that
prostitutes are cost less than marriage and get more.
