My comfortable body rhythm is to get up about 7 to 7:30 and go to sleep 12:30 to 1 AM. The first half of my life was in Philadelphia where most factories were 8-4 and offices 9-5. When I moved to CT everything moved up an hour. |

Don't fear it. I was still working flat out, but enjoying it, until I was 70. Now the small projects are more of a bother. I'm concerned with being productive after retiring. I've noticed that a lot of retirees who say that they are busier now than when they worked are often deluding themselves as they appear to be doing bugger-all. Graham |

I'm not deluding myself. I'm not busier than ever and don't plan to be. My major accomplishments today were taking my wife and a friend to lunch and renewing my driver's license. With a big lunch we skipped dinner so I didn't have to do that today. I don't want to be a growing mass in front of the TV, but I don't worry about being productive. I was productive for years so I don't care about it now. Priorities: 1. My wife's needs and happiness 2. My happiness 3. Anything else that comes along when I get to it. |
