Congrats on the retirement. I also wanted to thank you for turning me on to the Hacker’s Diet. What a find!

I understand your concern about fearing staying home and reading all day. I’m not retired, but as a teacher, I do have summers off, and it is challenging. I have days, like yesterday, where I spend all day online, or reading books. I’m not even really interested in TV. What I try to do is schedule something reasonably early several times a week, like I have to pull weeds at 9:30 or something. I try to get out every day, even if it’s just for a walk. And I live near a pool, so I’ll often take a short swim early just because it gets me motivated around the house. That’s been helping me so far this summer. Hope that helps.

Congrats again on the retirement. I don’t have any suggestions as of yet. Most would say now is the time to really get into your hobbies. I’ve never been that much of a hobby person, so I wouldn’t know about that. I guess the biggest thing though is not to let yourself get bored.

J4T I’ll drink 2 liters of water and I’m not really sure what I’ll be doing today. The rels that said they would be here last week, now say they’ll be here today. I think they’re bringing some of their grandchildren with them, so there should be more than enough excitement around here.

Hope everyone has a good day today.
