Retire???
I quite.
Really?
Yes, that’s it, period.
You sure?
Yes, I am out the door. It was a great ride.
I know you have been out of gas for some time.
That’s true.
What are you going to do?
Sit on my ass.

There are some things that get can’t be put off. There are others signs that are as simple as the gray hair that starts showing up on people heads (accept mine). It all tells us that time is passing. Our favorite 4 is up against it now. It’s really a big deal that the media have made of it, should Brett stay retired? Or has he pulled the plug to early. Others believed he lost it a few years back… But ALL of us are faced with some form of it every day, incompetence.

You are born. You develop (some of us grow facial hair) and develop skills that remain with us for only a dozen years then gravity take over. Facial hairs turn gray and the stuff on top falls out along with a few teeth. Yes, father time is one mean S.O.B. It robs us of our own abilities as well as those we cheer for.

Some time in the near past an old frat came up a name for this lose your physical being. He called it maturity. Retire? Hog wash!

The thing is that if you enjoy what you are doing and people even pay you to do it and it keeps your battery charged why pull the plug? Al Davis had it right.
“Just win Baby.” And when the band stops playing, the boat has sunk and no body purchases tickets and they starts watching opera then it's time to hang it up.
This also applies to a small roofing business in Joliet Illinois. “Oh, sole low me oh.”
