Retirement

I know some people who could retire right now but don't want to. One of the comments I get is, "What would I do?" What you do? What would you do? Are you kidding me? I can think of several things.

For the first two weeks I would probably just sit on my couch and watch TMC non-stop.
I would brush up on my French and master Italian.
I've always wanted to learn German and maybe Polish.
I was a volunteer at Holy Name Hospital when I was a teen and I wouldn't mind doing that again.
I'd finally have the time to figure out how to edit photos and scan photos on my PC.
Take that trip to Hershey, PA that I never got around to.
If finances allowed, I'd fulfill the dream of going to the Tournament of Roses Parade.
I might start getting on the bus to Atlantic City and spending the day playing the penny slots like a good senior citizen (but only if I had a coupon to the buffet).
All those books I want to read!
I could go to Mass on First Friday.
I could go to Mass on all those other wonderful feasts that we have in the Catholic Church.
Dare I say it? Go to more baseball games.
Again, if finances allowed, I'd do some travelling and maybe even get to visit cousins in NC and upstate NY.
Run for office or at least volunteer for a candidate in whom I really believe.

Okay, that's what I come with off the top of my head. Would that keep you busy? Sounds good to me.
