Now that I am retired...
I have the time to... 
do all the things I always wanted to do.
I have the time to...
do all the things I never had time to do.
I have the time to...
do all the things I should have dune.
So...
I have drawn up a plan
and now plan to work my plan.
But...
as I age I can't remember what it is.

And can't find the time if I did!

You have sized up retirement perfectly. Your humor is something I'm trying to remember to admire.
