Not being familiar with this retirement thing, I have read a couple of books on the subject. One of them said that I should create a list of 5o things that I want to do in retirement....although that same book said that I should not call it retirement. The list has to contain 50 things (not 49 and not 51) and that I should use "travel" as one and not use destinations individually to make up the 50. So here's the rub. I am stuck on 35. I need your help. What do you suggest?
See grandkids twice per month.
Go to afternoon Blue Jay games.
Finish the "family tree".
Visit Bob/Edith and Carolyn/John twice a year.
Visit Father twice per year.
Take up photography...again.
Skeet shooting.
Cook more.
Go skiing 6 times a year.
Ride my bike 300 miles per month.
Speak French....better.
Restore a classic sports car.
Rent an RV and drive across Canada.
Plant trees.
Write a book.
Start a business with Brett.
Learn masonry.
Build a web site.
Take the Jeep off roading.
Ride my bike across Canada.
Take a car racing course.
Build a barn with John.
Cycle around PEI with Brett and Paul.
Build a bicycle.
Stamp collecting...again.
Get fit.
Move to NOTL.
Finish basement at NOTL.
Work part time.
Teach English as a second language.
Get a dog and train it.
Be a tour guide at Inniskillin.
Landscape NOTL house.
Create the perfect garage.
Save something from extinction.
(PS: If you are wondering what the picture of the Scottish lass and bloke has to do with this, the answer is "Nothing". )

How about "Hike the South Downs"?

I have two suggestions for you. The first, and following on from our recent correspondence, replace all lycra clothing with oversized cotton. The second suggestion may be more practical. Look for volunteer opportunities either in a new area of interest, or perhaps share your hard earned business experience by serving as a board member of a charity or service organization.
I think you should add touring all of the vineyards around NOTL at least once!!!
Sounds like a good start to retirement .... making a list. Will try to think of some ideas.
Would like to see more pictures of the NOTL Ryegate cottage. We will check back from time to time.
I love the English flavour you've given your new home. Here are some suggestions for your retirement list (written for the third time & keeps getting lost): go fishing often; go camping in a National Park; hike the Appalachian Trail; participate in a humanitarian trip to a third world coutry; volunteer community service such as driving seniors to appt.; plant a garden; plant patio flower pots; learn to play a musical instrument; adopt a needy family.
