The funny thing is, he's always said that he doesn't really like his job, and that he can't wait to retire. Cue being just a year or so away from being able to retire (assuming he doesn't get divorced) and here he is doing nothing but work stuff. It's pretty sad really. I suppose he doesn't know what else to do. He could GAL. I recommend it. I have always had tons of hobbies and interests! It's kind of like he's scared of what retirement might mean to his ego. I feel sad that he doesn't see the huge opportunities he could have ahead of him, but I suppose being scared limits your vision.
