   Not only that, but I'll bet that you enjoy what you are doing more
   than before you retired.   After I retired, I became a part-time
   consultant doing work similar to what I had done for the government.
   However, I did not have all the schedules, rules, regulations and
   paper work to clog me down.   It was more fun!
