I'm semi retired dude and work 4 days on and 4 days off so my weekends rotate. I can't vouch for the others but my alibi is water tight.

I will work till I drop. I have no concept of retirement, only career choices. Look back a hundred years and tell me who retired back then? You only quit what you were doing if you no longer needed an income and had something better to do, or if you simply weren't able to anymore.

From my perspective, and this is wholly my own observation I know, reitrement means being discarded.

Perhaps that really isn't so different from what OBG is talking about anyways. After all, I know some camp hosts, and I wouldn't say their world is all leisure. More like part time flexible work load.

Who knows, I may end my days making saddles and wallets for a living.

I'm a college student. I've got nothing to do but homework, class and play online. Fortunately, this semester I don't have internet in my apartment, so it's cut down on my usage a little.
