How's that hottie MILF next door doing, George? Carpet still match the drapes?

Golf. Lots and lots of golf. Also, I hope I can retire and have "a couple decades" to screw around before I die.
This is my plan to a "tee"!!!

And also I look forward to senior citizen discounts at the movie theater.

You have to clear your throat a lot and don't forget to stop mid-sentence and paaaaauuuuseeeee then resume your train of thought.



I hope to work forever and never retire. Cut back, maybe. But not quit.

Have moved to an over 55 community where there is enough to get involved with to keep you busy all day. From golf to sports to volunteer work. Enough clubs to join to meet any interest. With over 1200 home many interesting people to meet with and exchange ideas and points of view.

If on the other hand you want to veg out thats fine too.

I agree with Elistan. Get a crazy RV and roll around the world.

I'll probably travel and guest lecture at Universities. I would really like to own a few homes to travel between.

Old doctors never die, they just get harder to understand what the F they are talking about.

The bassoonist in my quintet is 85, and his wife, our oboe player, is 79 . . . .
The oboe is my favorite orchestral instrument; the bassoon runs a close second.
