Janis: Are you all right?
Arlo: Sure! I'm just dead tired!
Janis: It's the same every year! You sit around all winter, then the first warm days you kill yourself with all these projects!
Janis: Why do you do that?
Arlo: Makes me feel alive, I guess!

Retired Dude over 8 years ago
Since I retired I have time to read and paint and work crossword and sudoku puzzles and other stuff that I didn’t have time for before retirement. My subdivision has a lot of lakes and walking trails and I log between twenty and twenty five miles a week there. Retirement’s been good to me. Thank you Lord.

One point about retirement….The hours are great, but the pay really sucks…And if you don’t have a pension, you’re toast…
