Well my friends, I just turned 64 and am retired twice. Now I am back in school to prepare for my third career. I am happy to see that I am towards the younger end of the spectrum. It gets tiring to be recognized as the oldest Marine in residence at the annual USMC Birthday celebration.
A friend reminded me this past Friday evening that I should eventually accept that there is a phase of life after work. I felt like telling him that my father died at 94 and worked right up until the final days before he went to the hospital to die.
