Retirement, year one, 365 days ago today my company said, “be seeing ya” have a nice life. As you may know I worked construction and the economy has gone south, not wanting to do so, go south that is. I looked into and took my retirement package, which was a fixed income, now I see why they call it a fixed income; it is in bad need of fixen’. Now a whole year has come and gone and did it sail by, not as one would think, everyone says time fly’s when you get older, the secret is not to get older. Back when I was forty, about twenty years ago, a coworker said you are a ten year old locked in a forty year olds body. I concur with that whole heartily. The first few month’s I keep waiting for the “boredom” to set in, didn’t happen, each day has been an adventure. True I have not taken up coach potato mode. On that note, just like the ten year old I love to watch movies in the afternoon, matinees so to speak. We get our movies in the mail and if you were to ask my wife she would say I specialize in “B” Syfy black and white movies or as I always said, “if it is not on tape and they don’t wear a cape I don’t watch them”. There is nothing like getting the mail and not having a job for that day, head up the stairs to the bed room and slip the DVD in the player, flip on the air and have a coke and chips.
