I'm not yet retired (end of 2013 maybe), but looking at this thread's title caused me to have an epiphany
When I do retire I'm not going to tell anyone. That way I can pick an choose the duty for which I volunteer. Call from son or DIL to watch grandkids, no problemo. Call from son to help dig a trench; sorry, got to work
Staying fit as most of us do has the unfortunate side effect of raising expectations.
I'm really looking forward to doing what I want to do when I want to do it. Work cuts into our riding. Maybe I should give human resources a ring right now and pull that end of '13 back to end of February?
