I'll tell you some things I don't do:
I won't go to work for 1/10th of what I was making before I retired just to keep busy
I swore off of meetings and rules, especially meetings about rules. Everyone wants me to "get involved"
No Way!
I travel, exercise and f_rt

And exacly how is that in any way relevant to my post which you C&P'ed before posting your statement?

I'm 57 and have been retired for a month now. So far I've driven to Colorado for a week, and am preparing to move there. I've had 2 hour lunches with friends, read lots of books, relaxed, wandered around. I am NOT bored and don't plan to be. My working friends complain about having to get up and face another Monday at work, complain about the stress, and look forward to 4:30 every day. I find myself very relaxed, calm and I've slept better than I have in years. I think I'll go play golf now.
