A friend asked last night when I planned to retire. The simple answer would be 8 years from now, when I'm 65. But it really depends on how I feel and how much fun I'm having in the news biz. Currently, I'm having a blast with the mix of editorializing/columnizing/blogging. I expect that to become even more fun in January when I'm finally allowed to shed two editorials per week and concentrate more on my online and print Huckleberries. As it is now, I can hardly wait to get to work in the morning to fire up the blog. I wonder how many people enjoy their work as much as I do? If I'm still having this much fun at 65, I might have to push back that retirement date. Now, for your Wild Card ...
