    About this ebook

    I did not retire until I was 90. I'm 93 now. The reason I didn't retire was because I never thought about it and nobody ever suggested it. Fred finally did. I wanted to see what being retired felt like. Angie and I went to a restaurant we had never been to before. I did not wear my hair piece the first time but I did the second. Nobody noticed the difference! This made me mad. In this book I tell you why.
