Countdown to Extinction Retirement

| | Comments (0)
In Spanish, the word for retirement is "jubilación". 

I have been saying this for years, but I cannot WAIT to get old and retire to a nice active seniors community, and wear outrageously loud clothing and start carrying weird things as oversized handbags.  I don't know what came over my sister this week, but out of the blue she sent me an email with a plan for our collective retirements where she and I would share a unit at such a retirement community, and participate in the following activities:

  • Knitting or crocheting
  • Dominoes
  • yoga / stretching
  • swimming
  • weight lifting
  • backgammon
  • Canasta
  • Shuffleboard
  • Field trips to casinos or horse races
  • Getting hair/nails done
  • Watching reruns of Dallas
  • Watching reruns of The Golden Girls
  • come up with a new hopscotch game that you can play with a cane
  • bridge
  • all the Wii games
We've found a place down in south Texas, which we'll live in during the winter. I'll be spending the next 30 years figuring out how to find a similar place in Sweden, where we'll live in the summertime.  I went ahead and added all this to my Google countdown clock:
