As a very, very old man, I retired from work what seems like a long time ago – 12 years – I now no longer experience days that are frantic and filled with never-ending tasks.

I worked extraordinarily hard during my 40+ years as an educator. I guess the unwinding began when I retired.

Yes, I do a fair bit in retirement and had a relaxed pace with much more dedication to the home front.

Tasks aside – and many of them are like writing which I do a lot, is fun – I relax at the end of the day by watching a bit of television, of then falling asleep in front of the TV.

Then I go to bed, relax, and after a while enter the Land of Nod and its province of Dreamland.
