I’m starting out August working 10 days in a row … which will pretty much take me to mid-August, come to think of it. When I was young—ahem, younger—that kind of schedule wouldn’t have phased me a bit.
But now I’m old … er. Still, it’s all part of my plan: to make overtime and get my bills paid down, so that when I qualify for full retirement, I can just sit back and go to work writing.
A “full retirement” in which I still need to make money may seem ironic, but what am I supposed to do? Spend all my time playing with power tools in a wood working shop? I have only so many fingers.

The Yellow Pages said it best when they said “let your fingers do the walking.”
As long as they’re still attached to my body.
Retirement will put you at your ease; thus you’ll be an easy Mark.
How much wood would you wood work if you would work wood?
My wife would tell you I’ve always been an easy Mark … just an overworked one.
