starting weirdly gleeful threads about the Canadian economy at 2am on a Saturday morning is a strange existence

Is it too early?, in the sack 3 hours before usual last night, and resulting in eyes wide open at 04.15 can I claim POL?

Jamie Dimon, Mark Carney, and Tony Blair just started sounding exactly like Donald Trump.
That's not a coincidence. It's surrender.

I'm not surprised you went to bed early, must have been exhausted after your big day out looking at a boat on Friday!

TBH, Ithink it more of on the sauce far earlier than usual, the galleon ship in the bay was OK but at 15 a pop a bit expensive for a 30 min walk-around. This retirement malarkey is great, flicks tomorrow, football Tuesday, the Waverley on Saturday, getting up early when awake knowing I can cat nap through the day when needed, but it's against the backdrop of knowing that the hole in the ground is rapidly gaining momentum.

The beauty of retirement is that you can shoe-horn far more into your life than was possible when you were working.
I've got a bit beserk myself in recent years since I retired - as one never knows when poor health or the Grim Reaper will strike.
