I've often been asked, "What do you old folks do now that you're retired?"

Well....I'm fortunate to have a few friends who have chemical engineering backgrounds, and one of the things we enjoy most is turning beer, wine, Jack Daniels, bourbon, and martinis into urine.

We're pretty damn good at it too!

The nice thing is you can do nothing! Then something, and then nothing, whenever you want. You can vist the family, and give them money, so they have something to do besides work. You can get into politics, and straighten this country out. Or sit back and complain about everything. If you can't relax then exersize and soon you will want a nap. Write a book, or paint a painting. Plant a garden or join the social clubs. Eat and get fat or exersize and loose wieght. Die your hair or shave your head. Collect your retirement until your 90 or go back to work after 70 so the social security keeps comming in. But do something good for yourself and others don't be a couch potato.

I do a lot of thinking about a lot of things.
I think thinkers are very underrated.
I think that without thinkers, humanity would become a bunch of robots or drones.
So I think I'm doing a very important thing for my fellowman.
I think I'll go think some more.

We do whatever We want whenever we want wherever we want. Sometimes we do nothing but the trouble with that is it's hard to tell when we're finished.
