BONUS BLOG: when not to retire. wait, what?
“Who am I kidding? My favorite thing is working.
“As to my retired friends: Not only do I enjoy their availability, but I learn a lot from their example. Liberated from their toils, these old pals are the unwitting canaries in the coal mine of aging, providing vital information to the rest of us about life after work. Some of them are plainly thriving; I have never seen them more cheerful and relaxed. They sleep better, exercise more and see more of the people they care about. Some serve on boards, give talks or even write books.
“But others frankly seem lost, especially those who were bribed into retiring or just shoved out the door.”
