I had always heard that if there's anything you want to 
get done, you better do it before retirement.  Now I 
can speak from experience.  And I was semi retired for 
about 5 years, so I had lots of practice.  There is no 
big void to fill, there is only the ongoing attempt at 
organizing so you can fit it all into the schedule. 
One big advantage, no wasted photo trips, I can pack 
the big camera along with something else that interests 
me, and let the weather or good fortune decide which 
activity is the best use of my time.  It's the little 
things that come with age, like no more reason to 
exhibit common sense, and for instance I find myself 
now looking at canoes.  YMMV, but be forewarned, you 
will figure out that this is not a dress rehearsal, and 
you will be the kid that interferes with darkroom time, 
and you will still start real late at night.  At least 
I do, always under the mistaken impression that I am 
not borrowing time from tomorrow.

Regards and best wishes in retirement...  Dick Gifford
