Debbie Downer is back!
Admit it - you wouldn't be retired right now if our circumstances were the same. You've got a financial out that I'll never have .... and that means: I gotta work.
Luckily, I LOVE my work ... so let the clock tick. None of us have a clue as to how many ticks we have. In the end - they'll mark our birth year, then a dash, and our death year. I prefer to LIVE THE DASH.

(didn't make that up - here's the story)
