Occupation in retirement?

Post by Dev One »

The importance of an occupation after retirement :

As we get older we sometimes begin to doubt our ability to "make a difference" in the world. It is at these times that our hopes are boosted by the remarkable achievements of other "seniors" who have found the courage to take on challenges that would make many of us wither.

Harold Schlumberg is such a person:

THIS IS QUOTED FROM HAROLD:

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





Well...I'm fortunate to have a chemical engineering background and one of the things I enjoy most is converting beer, wine and whisky into urine.

It's rewarding, uplifting, satisfying and fulfilling. I do it every day and I really enjoy it."

Yup, as it's past 730 I'm just about to start a similar conversion process - dry martinis to start ( 2/3 gin, 1/3 vermouth, stirred not shaken in my case) and then red wine

It's so nice to be insane, nobody asks you to explain.
