Wow, 50 already. That is old. I feel like the tree in the picture above. Is the sun setting already? I hope not yet. But you never know when or how... unless you are PKD (Philip K. Dick).
AARP keeps sending me mail trying to get me subscribes to get the "attractive" senior discounts.
My father retired with 52 and started his own business. My mother retired with 50 and is now retired for over 20 years. She likes that.
I don't feel like retiring yet.
Maybe it is part of getting older but at my current age I know that most of my decisions are correct and my own advice is more useful to me than advice from others.
My sister is moving back to Russia. Not a wrong decision, since it is better to live in a strong country than in a weak country. Germany is weak and is getting weaker every day. There are not many strong countries to pick from to move to. USA, Russia and China. China is out of question for obvious reasons (not only the language). So only two left to pick from.
Germany is introducing the 4-day work week and my sister is not winning: She works 4 days a week but her shift was made longer and the vacation days are reduced so that she actually owes some vacation time back to the hospital.
I wrote enough poems for a small book. If I publish, it will be under a pen name. At 50 I am still very paranoid.
