and have no interest in going anywhere. Nothing like I was for years, running the roads, or at work and at various events, rarely found at home.
The good part is I have a level of satisfaction and comfort in my surroundings and can spend time working on stuff at home, reading, viewing movies, TV, etc. AND I have interaction via phone, email and in person with friends. I don't feel isolated.
The bad part is, I'm pretty sure, that satisfaction could actually be complacency and inertia. I don't have to go anywhere with a few exceptions, and it sure is easier to just stay home.
As someone else said, I need to find reasons to leave the house because I'm starting to stack newspapers and save string. Yeah, that's an exaggeration at this point; but I can see the risk here.
Being a troglodyte of sorts is not my preference. So I guess I need to stand up and go out the door, which is sorta the reverse of my view of retirement: there's life past the elevator, so leave the office. Well, there's life outside the house and I need to still participate.
