Daily Comment
I don't watch sports these days. I did, through my thirties, then it began falling away until, by the time I moved to Syracuse (eleven years ago), I had completely lost interest.
I no longer find competition entertaining.
I've also largely eliminated it from the rest of my life. I understand that it comes from a position of privilege. I am unapologetic. It has come from dumb luck, nothing more.
I don't have anything to fight. There is virtually no fight I won't back away from. As author-philosopher Timber Hawkeye says, "You don't have to attend every fight you're invited to.
I have few threats against me. There is declining health, but that requires no more energy to fight the pain than I've been giving it for the last ten years, and isn't really a competition.
I don't consider myself a competitive bass player. I am Fool will fold if any member leaves at this point. There will be no replacements, although it is possible the lineup will respond. And I will not audition for a new band, or additional playing opportunities. I will play when and with who I can. That's enough for me.
I am no longer competing for a slice, or a bigger slice, of the money pie. Money now comes to me with no effort extended on my part.
This is what retirement has meant to me. I couldn't be happier or more grateful.
