Another Freeper just mentioned that his own grandfather had worked for thirty years beyond his “first”...”retirement...
retirement seems strangely analogous to SLEEP...and then Death!!
I think theres a Lot to be said for continued activity well past the point of “retirement”

You got that right - keep busy or vegetate. :) I'll be 79 this summer - but still writing my column - and painting (portraits) and keeping up with my large family - including 15 grandkids and a great-grand...and walking my dog, and tending my flower garden and engaging in all out war with the squirrels robbing my bird feeders, etc.
I think I may finally have them stymied - plus my 'hobbies'. Don't know how I ever found the time to 'work' -
