With only 37 days left until I walk through that door I’m excited. There’s a ton of work to do to wrap up my professional career and a lot of details to take care of to finalize retirement, but I am excited to have my life turn upside down and have the opportunity to engage my passions differently. I don’t know what will happen but it promises to be an adventure!

Thanks for the insight. I’m excited at the prospect of a different life. In my head it’s a smooth road but your advice regarding forks in the road and false starts is good to remember.

I retired five years ago (has it been that long!) when I became eligible. I have found that “retirement is a different experience for most everybody”. What works for one may not work for another. And just like when you started your career, there are false starts and miscues, and choices to make as forks in the road appear.

Knowing that in advance may offer some comfort when things don’t always go as you thought they would.

Just the way it is.

It’s odd how fast time passed when standing at the end of a career. Like you, I’m ready to ride into the sunrise and am excited at the prospects ahead.

Best wishes with your considerations revolving around retirement.

Sounds like a plan. I’ll catch up with you at the Moto Hang.

I would enjoy that! Perhaps we can look at our calendars at the next Moto Hang.

I hope my sunset years are still some distance away…

Hah! I forgot about that. Could influence my last ride home from work. Unless there’s a storm…
