Normal retirement age here is 65. I was forced to leave when I was 57. Due to bad economic times the company laid off 40,000 people and I was one of them. I looked for another job for more than a year, then decided a guy my age would never be hired into an IT group no matter how good the economic times. People told me it was time to do all those things I wanted to. All I wanted to do was work for a few more years. There were various and sundry illnesses I had to deal with not to mention being caregiver to my mom the last few years of her life. Aside from all that, maintenance of the grounds and gardening took up some time. We had an acre of land around our house with a lot of it wooded. Me and my chainsaw spent a lot of time out there. There was photography and astrology too, but most of what I did involved the computer. It's been my faithful companion since I left the work force. I would never have met you without it. :grin:

I thank my lucky stars for being articulate. It covers up my lack of talent.
