I would rather read the Wallstreet Journal each morning until 10:00 and then go flyfishing on a trout stream that put on a tie and do battle into my senescence. As an attorney I have long observed that unduely delaying retirement has much to do with a lack of creativity . I pity those who need the identity of the job to provide them meaning and self worth. We have one life. It should not all be spent commuting and "drilling down" after "synergistic " meetings. Spend a year in the woods watching the seasons.. or do community service...Expand your 70 or 80 years to more roles and observations than one can get from any career.
