I'm newly retired and loving it! Frankly, I felt myself losing my edge and new it was time. I've seen too many colleagues go through their later years blissfully unaware of their declining skills and passions for their professorial life. I now find that my passion is better and more usefully directed toward my grandchildren, my health, my avocations of music, and animals, and various major life projects such as cleaning out 35 years of accumulated junk, records & other silliness filling our basement & closets. I also have the pleasure of knowing that I am being replaced by a young scholar who has more passion and more current knowledge than do I at this point in my life. I recommend retirement to all who can manage it. It's wonderful!!
