From time to time I have lunch with a long-time friend, now in his late sixties. He’s enjoyed a successful career as an independent sales representative, and has been winding down for a while now from the high pressure, high stress world. He recognizes the need to retire someday. “Just not now” is his comment, when I ask him about it.

Trouble is, I’ve been asking him about this for about 5 years. So next I asked about is wife. He replied that she retired a while back and seems fairly happy, yet she is searching for something else. My good friend is puzzled as to why she is searching for anything else, since they have a very good life.
