So far retirement is a fine experience. It’s still sort of shocking to me that I don’t have to continue to earn a living.

Plans are slowly coming together on how I’ll spend this next part of my life. I’m in no rush.

How are you liking the Honda Ruckus? From time to time I think I would like to have that option. Spent some time on one years ago and remember it as a fun machine.

Steve you will positively enjoy your retirement days. I too took a retirement buyout last year after serving in the MA Trial Court for 36 years, and the important issue is making a plan to occupy your new leisure hours. I volunteer two days a week at Plimoth Plantation here in my new hometown, assisting in their archaeology laboratory detailing their massive collection of artifacts. I have done more cruising on my Vespa 300GT, and even went out and purchased a new Honda Ruckus to celebrate my retirement. Enjoy your new rides and keep us informed of your travels and your thoughts!

In reply to Kathy.

When you look into memories they take on a different life, often not what I thought they were. Good stuff though.

I’ve met ten moto-bloggers in person now. Of those, only six are still blogging. But it is cool to meet the people behind the words and pictures.

Good luck with your retirement adventure!

I sorta had my memory in mind when I wrote the prompt, so it’s not exactly one that’s really significant, just funny. There were so many other fun things about last year. Like meeting three Moto bloggers in person for the first time. How cool is that?

Anyway, I’m not sure if the decision to retire will be as hard for me. I’ve had quite a few different jobs over the years, so it won’t be as drastic a change. Of course, I’m the person who can’t say the F word yet, as in I’m going to be F—- soon! O.MG., where has the time gone?

In reply to Karl Stumpf. Congratulations on your retirement Karl. I look forward to determining my own schedule within parameters and requirements of my own choice.

In reply to Jim Zeiser. Choosing one event is a challenge. Like you, there were many great moments and events. Best of luck for many more memorable events this year!

Steve,

I retired a little over 3 months ago on my birthday on October 21. Most important is the fact that I don’t have to drive so many miles on the turnpike to and from work after 32 years of employment. I also appreciate being able to determine my own daily schedule which is a new experience each day.

Hope you enjoy retirement when it finally arrives. You have certainly earned it!
