Have you ever actually sat and pondered retirement? What will you do on a day-to-day basis once you're finally finished with your career? Will you go sailing on that dream yacht it took you twenty years to pay off? Will you venture all over the United States in search of quaint towns and antique shops?

Oh, don't get me wrong; I know that most individuals tend to retire around age sixty two or so, but he just seemed too rambunctious. He was always so full of energy. I couldn't really see him just hanging around the house all day. I knew that he would need some entertaining crafts for the elderly to keep him busy. In no time at all, he was painting like a mad man. I was amazed at how divine his technique became over the next few months. Anything with wildlife or outdoor settings was his forte. Now, this is definitely more healthy that those retired folks who mow their lawns on a daily basis. I often wonder about their level of sanity.
