We have a beautiful sunny day here in Indianapolis with temps in the 60s.
Mention retirement and I think of one of my brothers who retired as a carrier from the Los Angeles , CA post office after 25 years of service. He had set his alarm clock for the usual time that he had had to get up. When the alarm went off he smashed the alarm clock with the hammer that he had put at his bedside for that purpose.
He moved back to our home town where he enjoyed many years of retirement but he never quit working. He collected family history . He wrote and published a a family genealogy book. He coached youth baseball teams. He wrote a weekly column for the local newspaper for which he had readers scattered across the entire USA. He coached youth baseball teams. He drove a school bus and cared for his grandchildren.
