I suspect You'll find retirement isn't! Someone else will see that fence and offer cash under the table(always a good thing) and a bottle of good vino! I 'retired' four years ago and am still quasi or semi employed; only now the boss (4 hundred miles away) is much nicer 'cause he knows I don't need the job. I rib him: thanking him for my social security stipend-now about to be diminished by part B medicare under Trump. The boss is paying in; I'm taking out!. The text message always starts with ''R U available....'' a much nicer tone than when I was simply 'rowing chained to the bench.' He knows 'sailing days' are inviolate! The big problem is: my wife is retiring in September too, after 30 years of being a DA.-totally fed-up and burned-out! Good lord! there goes my 'retirement': she'll B around all day assigning chores... alas nothing good lasts forever. PS: I've seen the god-awful snow U shovel! that's not retirement! (why I moved to CA from the MN gulag-no snow!)
