Good for you, Bill. I also had a hard time adjusting to
retirement after 35 years of teaching. It, too, was the only
thing I had in my life. I'm pretty much over it now (it took
a few years) because when I see the way kids are today...lack
of respect, a sense of entitlement, rude little brats...I'm
glad I'm out. I actually think it may have been fate that
made me retire, as I might have said what I thought of them
to one of the brats and may have been fired!!! LOL!
