Reply to "Retirees, Those Soon To Be and the Hobby"

I'm almost 73, and have been retired since I was 55. Model trains play a small role in my life, although I have 3 small layouts year 'round. My wife and I travel between our house near Philadelphia and our beach cottage in Lewes, Delaware. We are now in Ft. Lauderdale for 2 weeks, and in April we will be on a river cruise in Europe. We have been fortunate in life, but we are not rolling in money (we drive a 3 year-old Chevy and a 15 year-old Acura, plus I stay at the Rodeway during York). I watch almost no TV, but read 2-3 library books a week. I collect stuff (currently vintage tin sand pails) and I'm active with archery and the "shooting sports" in general. 10 grandchildren provide another source of amusement.
