Wow. I have been retired now for a little over one month. When meeting me, people ask, "How is retirement?" I really don't have a pleasing answer for them. I don't know how to respond. I should develop a response - here are a couple of ideas.
"Awesome. Nothing to do. No demands. No people asking me to extend and do more. Restful."
"Incredible. Quiet walks in the park. Quiet viewing of old movies on TCM. Quiet interaction with the computer. Quiet avoidance of housework. Quiet lunches."
"Bizarre. Do you know that there are only so many ways one can avoid doing something important?"
"Terrific. I play in four different groups - a jazz band, a community band, a german band and an orchestra. Plenty of time to rehearse. Plenty of time to practice. Plenty of time to perform and get home. Plenty of time to listen to other performances. Plenty of time to avoid practice, too."
Hmmm. Maybe I need to work on other responses.
