Busy is a disease in our society. Unless you have a full schedule, including the retired....,you are a lesser being? I have never understood this since I was Very small till today. Why can't people just smell the roses? Panagiota

"overwhelmed with things to do" - It is amazing but friends who have retired are busier than when they worked.

Ain't it a shame! You've touched a nerve with me on this one. At 22 it was hard for me to relate to anyone between 24 and 65. I find things much the same now, at 69. (OK, I admit that things are better now). :) gw

Doesn't the idea of being a hermit sound wonderful, Gershon? As long as we never run out of pens and paper!
