There's something about Herring's sort of aimless hobby-filled
retirement -a type of retirement apparently shared by several posters
here- that would drive me batty. Not having anything to do but engage
in self-indulgent hobbies...seems mindless to me. I don't even like
"vacations" that last more than a week.
You may feel better if and when you ever get a sense of accomplishment
or satisfaction of your efforts in life.
Meanwhile, keep trying.

That's not it at all. It's the utter mindlessness and laziness of it
that I don't like, as in, "Oh...it's Thursday...it's golf day," instead
of, "Oh...it's Thursday...it's my day to cook meals for the needy down
at the shelter," or tutor some kids, or something like that. Not that
retirees should spend every day helping others, but, if they are
physically able and reasonably well off, I think at least a couple of
days a week devoted to helping those who most need it is the mark of
someone who is not entirely self-indulgent.
My wife asked me this past weekend if I ever intended to "retire." My
answer: "Why would I want to do *that*?"
Why don't you take off 1 day a week from rec.boats and volunteer for
something, anything.- Hide quoted text -

Hey, you once pointed someone here to a guys website that was very
informative about DSLR. I'd like to have that if you remember it. I
want to know more about the whole lens length thing versus 35mm slr.
