In other over 55 communities I'd probably be watching TV all day. I never thought when I retired that I'd be so busy that I would look forward to a blank day on my calendar.

Funny you should say that because tonight we drove our go cart from Tamarind Grove to the Square for the first time and my wife and I both felt we were at a high school dance. Can't remember seeing so many happy people in one place. I hope I never wake up from this dream.
