It might be obvious to folks here based on some of my questions about Medicare, but I made the official announcement at work yesterday. I will be retiring from the museum business on Feb 5.
Melva's already got a long list of things for me to do.

Congratulations and welcome to Retirement World, the adult amusement park.
You will be amazed at how fast time flies by and will wonder how you got anything done at home while working.

Best wishes, David! You beat me to it. Another pensioner added to the Soundhole roster. 😃

I’ll bet you take on smallish jobs at the museum. You won’t be able to withstand the inactivity. Congrats and welcome to the “leisure” world.

Take some good pictures of animal scat before you go.

It is just a person has the freedom to choose the activities rather than having someone else do the choosing.

LJ's right. There are lots of ways to stay busy without doing what we've been doing for decades.

No more excuses. Learn the damn Duck songs. None have more than three chords, most only one or two.

You might want to learn a new instrument. One of my retirement goals was to get really good on cowbell.
