Indeed. Someday, I'll make my final trip to the courthouse, and I think I know how he feels. Regardless of the good and bad, it's almost like a divorce;- a major part of your life is over. Now, with all he's been through, I think Stan has a broader view of things, and I believe with his near death experience and his generally upbeat attitude, he has a lot of living to do in retirement.
Even though he'll drive everyone crazy, at least for the first 6 months.
When my father retired, he announced "If you find me painting the basement stairs, shoot me" We never did. He worked several jobs in retirement, volunteered for the Red Cross, as well as the police department, and went to school, and became a licensed pyrotechnician, eventually becoming president of the state fireworks association. But, at time of sale, his steps were still unpainted.
