You can't dance at two weddings with one bum

That was one of the truisms my dear mother-in-law left behind. That was her way of saying "don't over-extend yourself." So I don't. In fact, there are those who claim that not only do I never over-extend myself, I don't do anything else either. They wouldn't be that wrong. Now that I'm retired, I don't do much of anything. Not that I did that much of anything before, but at least I had a job. Funny how when you take the "job" away, there's lots of folks left with nothing. Work defines us. Retirement erases us.
