At long last - I am retired from the world of the gainfully employed! It only took me 47 years to get here. But finally, May 26, 2010, I am retired.
Everyone has been asking me, "What are you going to do?"
Well, why do I have to DO anything! That is my immediate response. I have been doing for decades and it's nice to stop for a bit.
Retired.
adj. (1590) from the verb "retire" (MF retirer to withdraw)
- To withdraw from action or danger.
- To withdraw, especially for privacy.
- To move back; recede.
- To withdraw from circulation or the market.
- To withdraw from one's position or occupation; having concluded one's working or professional career.
Or is it Re-Tire? I become tired again? Weary? Over and over?
Or Re-Tire as in I put different wheels on my car. I retire the car.
Fun to think about - and now I have all the time in the world! I am RETIRED!
