I and, I imagine, others would be interested to read contributions to the list about the post-retirement lives of others. I do hope you will contribute such.
As for me, I retired nearly seven years ago (because of my age) and moved from California to Chicago, partly for family reasons and partly because I missed living in a real city (I grew up in London). My connections with libraries and librarianship are growing ever more tenuous and I find both increasingly unrecognisable. I spent the first two years plus of retirement writing a memoir, which was published to widespread apathy, and have done a number of articles about books and literature since. I do not, necessarily, prefer being retired to working, though I do not miss the endless dreary meetings that, I am sure, took years from my life to no good purpose. Just a different stage of life.
Best wishes, Michael Gorman.

The checklist for retirees is a great idea. Hope folks will move their comments here. I promise to contribute when I have had a chance to think back that far. 🙂 Penny Jeffrey
