After a year of retirement spent plopped on the couch bingeing on-demand TV and enjoying the freedom from corporate deadlines that filled sleepless nights with worry, I’m thinking I better start setting my own deadlines and get my butt moving or else the inevitable deadline will arrive sooner than later.
Charles Gray is retired and living in Austin, Texas. He enjoys playing chess and writing.
True. But when you’re setting your daily schedule, be sure to give The Slacker a vote as well. He deserves at least some input after all those nose-to-the-grindstone years, eh?
Trust me; I’ve been (i.e. I AM) there.
Awesome 50!
Terrific story with a message worth heeding!
So true! Plus, the MC has much to contribute to others. :-) Great story, Charles, with a timely moral for many readers.
