The statistics on retirement are not good. Basically, they predict that you will drop dead within the first two years that you retire. That did actually happen to two wonderful men I knew that retired from teaching, and I believe that is one of life's great injustices that you could rail against God all day about. There must be some mind-body link to the idea that your purpose for living is over once you retire. I do think that it is unhealthy for me to think that my work is done, so a new career feels just right to me. And it needed to be a career that I enjoyed. You must be thinking that running a store is a radical departure from being a teacher, and you would be right. Most of the day, I feel like an infant because I don't know what people are talking about. However, I am doing this project with my brother, and he knows how to run a store.
