“But I don’t plan to retire.” My friends words were typical of what I hear when others learn of my book.
I think my response surprised him.
Him: “But I don’t plan to retire.”
Me: “Neither do I.”
Him: “But you did!”
Me: “Not really.”
Him: “Yeah” (said with heavy sarcasm), “so that’s why you don’t go into work every morning? And the book? You wrote about retirement because you didn’t retire”?
Me: “Exactly.”
