> You don't retire at 65 there? I thought you retired, but were pulled back
in, & are now planning to retire again soon?

  I worked till I was 66, since could get a few more dollars in retirement
each month if I did.  :)
  And I re-retired on 29 April, at 72.
  I had planned on that for January but held out until someone was properly
trained in parking, which is my baby.  The guy we finally got is a mini-me
and I felt secure enough things would be in good hands and to step back.
   People would ask what I planned to do in retirement and I would always
say "One thing I plan on NOT doing is wandering about aimlessly for hours on
end in the cold and rain".  :)
   But I do enjoy retirement.  Six Saturday's and a Sunday every week!

> I've only had two real birthday acknowledgements -- Age 19, when my
girlfriend was planning a surprise party

   I was given one surprise party.
   I was turning 36 and this woman who had her cap set for me gave me one,
but I learned in advance about it, but acted like I was surprised.
 
> I'm fine, but I'm demanding a big deal when I hit 100, & every 50 years
after!

  That's idea I might celebrate as well.  :)
