Welcome! to ... A Good Place to Stick Around

When the phone rings, I know what to expect: "Now that you're retired and have some time, how about ... . "

People -- even close friends -- do not know that I have a life. It is a result of my doing. Something. Just what I am unsure but I think it is because I am generally in good spirits and fine fettle, and that I take time for them when we are together. I like it that way, I like me that way. If I have to take a moment to reschedule my own doings, fair enough -- I'll take the time. That is not an invitation to teleport additional items for the To Do list into my life.
