I can't say I've "retired" -- the connotations are abhorrent. I haven't withdrawn, I'm more "out there" than ever before. The days I was stuck inside are over (except when I'm online, mesmerized for hours by fascinating sites like this :-); now mornings find me out for a walk or en route to my daily swim. Maybe it's vanity: how can I be that old! Regardless, now I say "I'm renaissanced" instead. Reborn! Renewed! because of the laid-back, fun, life style. My friends seem to like it, too. We're all renaissanced. How about you?
