I  mentioned to a retired psychologist friend of mine that I was as busy
after  retirement as I was before. His thought was that we were also getting
less  efficient. He is right, I am much less efficient when I look at what  
I
accomplish even while  I am busy but I have also discovered that the  lower
need for efficiency is really the joy of retirement. You don't feel  guilty
spending time of the Rhodes list. 

By the way, if any of you  have bypass surgery in your future and are
wondering about coping with  boats etc. I would suggest that you hold off on
major decisions until you  see how things turn out. I had a quadruple bypass
last Wednesday, got home  yesterday and have to say that while I have lots 
of
aches and pains and  look a bit like a Frankenstein project, I really
experienced very little  real pain and for only brief periods. These guys 
are
amazing. I have lost  my boating season I expect but I am also glad I didn't
sell the boat or do  some other rash thing.

Isn't that  the truth about retirement. Too much time and too many ways  to
spend.....fixing up boats.
