Ditto, I'm not interested in meeting some technical definition of retired! 
I think that the situation that Brewer's spouse and my spouse now experience has really opened my eyes. Sure, she's working part time (15-20 a week), but she is working strictly from home, enjoying the interaction, and yesterday took my daughter to the beach!   I'm starting to think semi-ER is the route for me, too!
