is the complete lack of schedules and demands!

...although I have one regularly scheduled obligation, and that is to tip a few beers with my working friends on Fridays after they get off work. Heh heh, they're all "TGIF" and I'm all "YEAH, TGIF!" and they're all

Frank Lee -

Congratulations! Here at work, I'm always happy to hear that someone made it to the finish line (retired on their terms), so I am happy for you.

Think of all the whacky things you can make in your spare time!!!!

Thanks!

Well it wasn't eggzacktly on my terms... but close enough.

And yes, a lot of my spare time is devoted to dreaming up wacky things to build. Now I just need to find that motivation I used to have, and lost somewhere...

Look under the couch. Typically, that's where I find most of my lost motivation. For some reason, motivation and dust-bunnies always end up congregating in the same place.

I retired a year ago July 1st as a disgruntled mail man.....they even made me turn in my guns!

Now I can go where and when I want to drag race.....as long as I can get a baby sitter!

Yep, you read that correctly. The ex kicked me out of the house and then she married the exchange student we brought over from Europe!

So I get engaged to this 28 year old....I was 50. We got married Oct 20th, 2002 and we had a baby boy June 1st, 2006.....now she works full time while I am the stay at home Dad!

Frank - congrats!!!

Is retirement sort of like being self-semi-unemployed?

I do find myself occasionally going mountain biking in the middle of the afternoon with a couple of retired guys I know... Better than going when it's starting to get dark & cold at the end of the day when the rest of the guys get off work!

Thanks- but I have been "on the loose" for several years already. As far as being "self-semi-unemployed"... I suppose?

Whatever it is, I like it.
