Oh great, one less COBOL programmer to keep the banks running.

Ahem! I haven't done COBOL in decades, and don't miss it!

Good luck, I tried retiring for a few days, but it was too boring, so I started another business.

Good luck on your retirement.
Don't let your mind wander too far.
It's too small to be let out alone.

Conga-rats!! I wish you the best of luck in retirement!
As for me, and I am within a year or two of you, I doubt I will ever retire. One of my hobbies is playing with programming languages. Here, I am getting paid for my hobby! I haven't worked a day in years!
My other job is ranching. Yes, I know, it sounds crazy, but I really enjoy it, even though it means caring for my herd and the guard dogs first thing in the morning (4:30 AM) and last thing at night (10:30 PM). (My wife cares for them during the day.) It is sooo peaceful with my nearest neighbors being one tenth of a mile away - I could never go back to urban or suburban living.
Have you heard of how the rancher's retirement party opens? The minister, in a very somber tone, begins with: "Dearly beloved, we are gathered today the celebrate the life of ..."

Wow! That's one well deserved retirement! Congrats, and hope you will continue to hang out here at CP. Now, what will you do with all that time?
