Work is a time when you have feelings of accomplishment.  Warm fuzzy feelings if you're lucky.  People come to you for opinions because you know how to do something.  In some jobs you can see what you do
from one day to another.  Maybe I was lucky that I had fun most of my working life.  You still need a feeling of accomplishment in retirement or you die sooner.  Just sitting on the porch reading, or
golfing, or fishing doesn't cut it.  The ones who keep going are the people who live longer.   Bill Middleton, for example, is still writing books like his life will never end, and Bill is now in his mid
70s.  He just told me he had a lunch appointment at the Smithsonian in Washington DC this week, and a meeting in Chicago the following week!  And George Krambles lived to be almost 90, probably because
he retired from CTA and went into transportation consulting for the rest of his life.  Bill Vigrass is in his 70s, and could pass for a much younger man ... still has no interest in retiring from Hill
International.   Doesn't seem like Harold Geissenheimer is ready to fully retire either.
