The ones I can directly relate to, I like them! The ones I can't directly relate to (or even don't necessarily agree with), I like them too!

Obviously I have much to learn about retirement! So far today I had lunch with Frank, got my yearly brake tag (= annual auto safety inspection), went grocery shopping, then hit the bank. Between the last two I managed to pass a large high school just as it was letting out, adding some extra driving time. High school kids are even more foolhardy drivers now than they were in the early 1960's. Then I put away the groceries and e-mailed Frank and I am doing laundry. Guess it's naptime for me by now, too.
