These posts make me realize how lucky I am to: (1) Be retired; (2) Get bike out of shed in 2 minutes; (3) Ride out directly from my home onto shaded roads that lead past the ocean with cooling breezes; (4) Come home and take a shower in 5 minutes; (6) plop down in a soft chair on our porch with a root beer float and doze off for 30 minutes.
