i infrequently look on here and eccie. Just noticed the announcement that Eccie went dark recently. Thanks for the news -- I'm glad I logged here to read the message. Just stinks that what little history I had was there (and previously TER)! Makes me think about retiring...

So off topic thread -- is there an average or optimal retirement age from hobbying? As a client, I have satisfied curiosity and excitement seeking and some new experiences... But now I'm older, more tired, and if I were wise, more risk averse. What keeps you in the game vs. retiring?

Blah. Just a random thought. Maybe I'll check back in my traditional couple months to read responses. Or maybe I will have retired!
