I sure feel like it some mornings (and afternoons and evenings).
Hello from Tennessee and thanks for being here, very informative site.
I have lurked for a few weeks and its time to join.
Still working but I can see retirement from where I am.
UPS bought the company that I worked for when I was 52. Their criteria for remaining was simple. The manager from the nearby UPS depot was 41. I was 52. He, by all accounts, was a square peg in a round hole. No matter, I was 52, good grief, that's one foot in the grave. The square peg was chosen and I was paid off. It bruised my ego I must admit but not for long after hearing of the pig's ear that the square peg made of merging the two depots.
So you, my friend, at 61, have not much time left at all on this planet, well not according to UPS criteria.
I console myself with the fact that, like him or not, the US President is 78. (Best check that he's still breathing.)
