When asked if I am retired I respond:

“Although I draw Social Security, I get up rested in the morning, I enjoy my work through the day, and I become tired.

“Next morning, I’m rested. Though I enjoy my work through the day, I become re-tired.

“That is my retirement.”

Larry Darnell worked as a Manufacturing Engineer, then in sales in different fields. Now he is working on a book titled How I Evolved From A Chicken Into An Eagle, along with various other projects. He doesn’t think of himself as being “retired”; he just has more freedom to choose what he does during the day.
