Well, I am in the 'looking back at 60' crowd and I still work full time. I
have a job that is fun to do, but it is still a 40 hour a week job. I can't
even think about keeping my butt in the chair for 48 (or even 36) hours
after working 40 (or more) hours before, and knowing I have to get up Monday
morning and go back to work again. I'll bet when I retire and don't have
those 'Monday morning blues' any more it will be a lot easier to spend more
butt time in the chair. But for now, I operate when I feel like it and when
I don't, I go do something else. That keeps it fun for me. Never gonna win
anything, but it's still fun. 73
