I don't want time to pass me by wondering whether I could have done this or that. I am already past retirement age but I trudge on regardless during this time of failed world economies, and wondering whether I have the resources to make it into my twilight years, where time may be the most important commodity.

People...I have never had a problem taking time off. People who retire and complain of broedom make me crazy. And now, working nights I have found the best job ever for me. I get up at lunch time without an alarm, goof off in the afternoon under the hot Florida sun (or air conditioning) and ride into work over the water.(I'm working OT a lot these days to pay for the Vespa). Retirement seems a chimera south of the 49th parallel, but one has to make the best of it. Keep practicing, it will get better, goofing off.Conchscooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016331487463993200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-19782123422351503062012-09-04T23:13:46.025-07:002012-09-04T23:13:46.025-07:00Dear Mr. Skoot:

My mother's cousin rode (with his wife pillion) across Canada, Ontario to Vancouver when he was 80, he's 98 now (I think, maybe older). He kept riding until the age of 87 when he said he wasn't as strong and his balance was not as good as it needed to be for riding.VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-13881008629283230812012-09-04T17:49:45.089-07:002012-09-04T17:49:45.089-07:00I would have enjoyed another day with no riding.

On that pier people fish or throw out crab traps and the sailing club is beside the pier so you could just sit and watch the activities. Many people come down here for family picnics. I think you would like it here, it is a good place to relax by the water.<br /><br />Most of the time I am alone so I just don't feel energetic enough to put on the miles by myself and I have been shying away from group rides .

All of our lives we are rushing, trying to get ahead, working which leaves for less playtime. You are luckier than most with more years to enjoy your health.
