Here's what I've learned about retirement so far:
- Everybody who goes to the Y in the morning is old. I don't mean the nobody-in-their-right-mind-should-even-be-awake-yet time of the morning. I mean the slept-in-had-a-cup-of-coffee-and-read-the-paper time of the morning.
- Old people at the Y love to play pickle ball. They are crazy for pickle ball. There are benches of old geezers sitting in the gym just waiting for their turn to play pickle ball.
- Until three short weeks ago I did not even know what pickle ball was.
- I do not want to play pickle ball now.
- When I play pickle ball I will know I am really old.
- Having more time doesn't mean I clean more often.
- Everybody who goes to the dog park during the daytime is old.
- The dog park is to old geezers what the bar scene is to the young.
- I'm good at wasting time.
