Now, 40 is almost like "half way to retirement".

ugh. Think 59 1/2 or even 55. Forget this 67 or later nonsense!!!!

49 was a GREAT age to retire! I've had the BEST 3 years of my life
since then. Of course, retired does not mean not-working. :-)
I've been able to fly and instruct, do Sun-N-Fun and Oshkosh
both in the same year(s)... and do a little computer consulting. :-)

WOW! Flying and Colorado Mountains, Skiing and Colorado Mountains,
a few weeks in the Idaho Back Country and FLYING!

You don't quit doing things BECAUSE you get old...
you get old BECAUSE you quit doing things.
Do more things!
