days_unfoldingWe work only seven hours a day in the summer. I'm loving it. Right now, the extra five hours are going into going through my stuff, but everything that I get rid of is stuff that I won't have to deal with in a move later. And I am actually getting rid of a lot of stuff.
And I'm thinking about what I would do during retirement. My spontaneous reaction is what would I DO with myself, so I'm thinking about what I would do with myself. I'm working on a list of things to do in retirement or to learn before I retire.
Things to learn before retirement:
Things to learn during retirement:
Other things to do:
It's a start. I have time to think about this because I want to retire at 70 to max out Social Security. And I might look for part-time work after that (preferably at home).

Things to learn before retirement:
- Relearn how to ride a bike. I'd like to spend time on biking (and hiking) trails.
- How to play pool? That's something that I've wanted to learn since I was a kid. The woman with whom I'm doing the presentation later this month is a pool player. Maybe I should hire her to teach me.
- Learn to play golf? I've been interested in that since high school. But there's always miniature golf :)
- Improve my photography skills
- Take singing lessons
Things to learn during retirement:
- Audit online classes
- Audit university classes?
- Guitar and piano (if not sooner)
- Foreign languages
Other things to do:
- Write regularly
- Volunteer
- Container garden
- Travel as much as I can afford
