Maybe my view is skewed, given my status as self-employed since the
early 80s. But I don't ever plan on 'retiring'. I love what I do, and
plan on doing it until I keel over on top of my keyboard. Why 'retire'?
I think that's key. I don't know many people who work for someone else and
have to

I've only worked for about 3 months in my life since I left school 46 years
ago if you define work as doing something that you don't *want* to do but
are doing it because you need the money. I was RAF aircrew
Yeah Gil!! I agree with you. I plan to do the same. Heck with other people

I'm with Whil. I was a deputy sheriff for 32 years. It was only work for
about 4 years. Otherwise, I loved it and looked forward to going to work
every day. I also have been developing systems since 1986 and love doing

A good way to judge people is by observing how they treat
- I don't see 'retire' as a true/false proposition. What it's about
these days (and what I'm working towards) is a gradual wind-down.
