Why do I think about retirement so much? It isn't so close that there's something I have to do right now about it, nor is it so far off that it represents a far-reaching goal.

I think it may be because I am fascinated with the idea of starting something so new and different. It isn't shuffling the cards in the deck before a new deal - it seems more like  getting up from the poker table and switching to roulette. The rules of probability still figure into your play, it is still in the same casino, and it is still your life, still you; but the game, and how it is played, is completely different.

Fascinating to contemplate.

Diet Comment

I wasn't expecting that, although I did eat all that cheese. I think the culprit is a heavy dose of salt in yesterday's post-breakfast meals. Today, I'm going to do better.
