All Best wishes on retirement! Old habits are hard to break, but their are so many new and exciting opportunities to learn new skills. At 66 I've retired from 25 years at Florida Power and 9 years at Micro Focus rolling IBM mainframe assembler solutions. Now I still have consulting company and still enjoy supporting open source free z390 Portable Mainframe Assembler and Emulator that you can install on Windows or Linux so you can continue to roll HLASM compatible mainframe assembler. You don't ever want to forget those 1200+ opcodes including new z196 opcodes. <G>
But I find myself spending more time on new exciting opportunities like reading WSJ on my Kindle any time anywhere, keeping up with family and friends on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter social networks, enjoying new Rotarians On Social Networks Fellowship (ROSNF www.rosnf.net). I am blessed with 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren which I say YES to all the time. This week my granddaughter Lily showed me how to use new app to make cupcakes on her mom's iPhone. And my daughter showed me new iPhone app to identify all the stars and constalations by just pointing iPhone at region of night sky. It's really exciting to think about what my grandchildren will be doing with technology by the time they get to college. My first college computer course was FORTRAN using punched cards on an IBM 1410. When I got back my first compile and execution listing, I knew I had to learn what it all meant.
