Epistle To a Retired Husband

A list of rules upon your retirement because I have my interests and activities; no, we are not getting rid of my car, I cherish my freedom to move. I suggest you find your own pastimes, you'd look pretty silly in red hat. Oh, by the way, don't follow me shopping in baseball cap, jeans and white socks. Grocery planning is my domain so don't hold forth on where to shop. I'm out to bunco and Friends of the Library, meetings held in the evening. I knit with companions, again early evening, don't call the shop to see if I'm there. Remember we said that we'd travel? There you go! Get to the travel agency. Paris, Rome, London, I'm up for those. I want to eat out whenever I wish, no more big meals on weekends. You get the picture? I'm retired, too! When does the plane leave? I'm ready!
