od thoughts, March 10, 2009

I once started a blog. I only made 2 entries and then stopped. I read somewhere that men frequently do that.
In a little over 3 months I am retiring from practicing Optometry full time. I have spent 35 years doing this. I am proud of my success. Now I get tired after a long day, very tired. Yet I am concerned about retiring. I all ways said my identity is not Bob Copeland Optometrist, but Bob Copeland all around person. I may have been wrong.
I am not afraid of retirement. I will be busy. I have a golf game to work on. I need to exercise and loose only 40 pounds. I expect to play tennis several times a week. I have already bought several books on Bridge including a computer bridge program. I want to cook more. But I wish I could still practice some optometry part time or mentor a young optometrist.
I am lucky, my wife plays golf, she wants me to cook or at least we cook together. I only hope we don't end up in Hell's Kitchen.
Ok now I have started, I will see where this takes me.

  1. Welcome to the blog, Bob! You will find many people here who are in the same position as you and they will tell you that once the blog bug bites there is no getting away from it. Looking forward to your posts and the journey into retirement.
