    People ask me if I'm enjoying my retirement. I tell them that I am on pension but not retired. There is always plenty to do and one of these days I just might take on another part time job.

    You older folks, take care of your health! You may end up living longer than you think! I too plan to never retire. A human being always has to be occupied in something productive towards others. It is part of living a life.

    I repented, quit my job, and now I slack off. Not getting jarred awake by an alarm clock will add at least a decade to my life.

    I'm hearing more and more of the moms (some reason the dads aren't doing it) of my friends getting PhDs in their 50s and 60s. I think it's very cool. I don't think that they are doing it to get an edge in the job market but they are interested in education...
