I highly recommend my lifestyle.

I like to stay up late. And sleep in late. And then fetch the New York Times from the box at the road, and go for a walk. While reading the Times. First, the front page. Then the editorial page. All of the columnists. A nice way to start the day. I'll follow this routine more. Now that spring has arrived. Then maybe I'll come in for a light breakfast. And I'll sit down and write. Yes, I'm addicted. To writing. And to the relatively leisurely life. I don't have a job. I take retirement seriously. It's supposed to be a time to relax. To slow down. Maybe I'm as busy (occupied) as I was when I was working. But this is less hectic. And I'm my own boss. I highly recommend living long enough to retire. --Jim Broede
