Default Feeling old? Random thoughts

Early in retirement is the time to start hiring people to do things you used to do. Eventually, you will want your primary duty to be running the rocking chair while somebody else brings a fresh mint julep. I used to do all my own work, too, until I realized that everybody else was swimming and sunning while I was spending the weekend in the engine room or building a deck.
For the kids and skiing, buy a nice clean used jetski. You'll have fun, they'll have fun, and it can pull a skier without a huge investment.
