I can be up when I want, go to bed when I want.......sip wine, read, smoke when i want, watch movies to all hours. I worked from the time I was 16 until I retired when I was 66. In between married, raised a family, worked full time, went to school full time. I am always amazed at the energy I had when I was younger.
