I recently popped into a shop to get a birthday card and saw three rows of
"Happy 100th Birthday" cards. The "it's a Boy" and "it's a Girl" cards were huddled together in one row.

There must be something in the water near me.

It was the first time I'd ever seen a 100th Birthday card.

Perhaps at 80 years would be the right time to start thinking about retiring?
Though governments would like to you to work till 90 years.

You may be right. When I was younger 60 seemed ancient. Now at 45, I figure between my trashed pension (I work at United Airlines), Social Security funding shortages, 5 college bound kids, etc...I'll be working till I'm about 90!!!
I guess it beats the alternative of not making it til 90, and since I don't like golf I might as well work. If I make it till 100, I'll still get some retirement time.
Hope you get one of the 100yr cards in good health!!
