My daddy retired as a senior executive from a multi-national corporation. He had a great job but was home about 5 days a month and even then wasn't really there. Busy, stress, etc,..kinda got cheated in my childhood cuz he wasn't around much but he spoiled me rotten. Still does.
Now he's a Director of a substance abuse facility but he's getting fed up with that. He is a hardcore results guy and I don't think the snails pace of what he is doing is fulfilling him. He doesn't really want to do consulting work because then it will be just like he never retired.
I've tried to get him to teach me golf (he is pretty good, 6 handicap) but he thinks women don't belong on the golf course. Kidding. He says if I take some lessons and shoot around 100 I can go. Then I won't embarrass him. Kidding again.
I'm so gonna miss him when his day comes. He is my hero.
