That was over 15 years ago and let me just say I've never missed it at all. There is so much to do that I don't have time to be bored. I'm guessing it's the same for you and quite frankly your brain is just fine.Idahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14587867197850064349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-48293115202924351932014-09-10T08:56:34.694-04:002014-09-10T08:56:34.694-04:00Add The Secret History to your reading list.

Strange someone would think that. I do have a friend that refuses to retire though saying she wouldn't know what to do with herself. I on the other hand never seem to have enough hours for all I want to do.

A friend is coming to your great city for a week next month and I wanted to let her know about your blog. She's bound to get great ideas of things to that are, as she says, "not of the obvious."

I retired after working full-time all of my adult life in 2003, and since I had been a workaholic, my family/friends back then said that I would HATE retirement... HA---how silly they all were... I am so much healthier --even my brain--than I was when working full-time.... I finally am taking better care of me than I did before... I am doing things I could never do before. It's absolutely wonderful. Glad you are having a similar experience....<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-61309446219518037452014-09-08T20:01:01.031-04:002014-09-08T20:01:01.031-04:00Are you kidding me ... you, less sharp?
