I felt a little saddened by that because I enjoy the kids, but it is so freeing knowing I won't have to answer that 6:00 a.m. call and go anywhere. I feel the same way when I'm anywhere and see mobs of kids with teachers and parent chaperones - not with nostalgia, but relief that I never have to herd a bunch of active third graders anymore. <br /><br />Warren, I am so impressed. Another skill I didn't know you possessed.<br /><br />Yeah, getting older does have some really good benefits - senior discounts among them.Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-80070500019157808472012-04-17T10:31:22.317-04:002012-04-17T10:31:22.317-04:00My wife and I did this when she retired.

She had a list of meetings she would never have to go to again, classes she would not have to schedule and unresponsive students she would not have to nag. She is still involved with projects she is interested in. I am about to cancel my plan for a career in the National Basketball League since I cannot shoot, rebound, block shots, pass, dribble or run quickly. I will never have to fill out a health care provider form or keep track of continuing education.Warren Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789270258599769915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-91042708586462211672012-04-17T09:36:35.780-04:002012-04-17T09:36:35.780-04:00This is an excellent idea, KB.

There's real freedom in knowing that you'll never do this or that again.Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.com
