@Jeff Noel, Thanks for raising the subject of semi retirement. I guess that's my situation.
I am well past retirement age, but I keep going. I will retire with my boots on. By "retire" I really mean die.
I cannot imagine total retirement. It's true I love my gardening, and watching the livestock grazing next to our garden fence, but I could not just sit and do nothing.
As it is my brain is continually at work and I love solving problems. In my role on the forum I can put that to good use and enjoy myself in the process.
In case any are thinking seriously about lazing away their days on the beach, this study by Dr. Charles H. Hennekens of Harvard Medical School is worth considering: He said: “We found an 80 percent higher rate of death from coronary disease among those in a study who had retired compared with those who had not.”
