Red-Handed Jill Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Not sure if I'll ever really retire - most likely I'll start doing something else. Jack and I have kicked around an idea for a business that will utilise both our talents and be a heck of a lot of fun. We're both the kind of people who actually want to keep busy, even when we're older. But some decompression time will definitely be in order.

hurricane Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Let's see... I would set my own hours, wake when I wanted to, nap in the afternoon, work when I wanted to. Go pirating whenever I wanted. Vacation on other people's dime and go whenever and wherever I could. Have a drink any time I wanted to, even during "working hours." Oh, I already do that... guess I'm retired by definition. I'm fortunate enough to work at home with a view of the palm trees out my windows. Can't imagine things ever being better than this... :) - Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

DocF225 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 January 18 2014, Six years, 343 days to go. But who's counting? I figure to throw my badge and gear on the Chief's desk. I'll dump the contents of my locker into the dumpster. A little judicious placement of super glue in the appropriate locations. Then I'll flip a bird to City Hall on the way out of that cursed dung heap for the last time. After that, the entire little pile of refuse could slide into the river never to be seen again and I wouldn't shed a tear. Doc Wiseman - Ship's Physician, Stur.. er...

But.... I'm working on a plan where I can keep working, and cut my living expenses... so at half my normal work, I can still live comfortably..... hey... it gives me something to do........

Ransom Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I agree, artists never retire. It's in our blood. The morticians will probaby have to pry either a brush or a pen out my cold, dead hand. But that's okay, because I enjoy the artistic life, and couldn't give it up, even if I wanted to..which I don't. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

William Brand Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Speaking of flames...I've asked my friend Mike to do me the honor of a proper viking funeral with a burning ship and a drunken funeral party. He has promised to steal my body and take it to the gulf of Mexico for this very purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
