Anyway, at one of them a long time ago I talked to a guy selling jewelry he
made. As I recall, he said he worked a few months in the winter making his
goods, then attended the craft fairs for a few more months. The rest of the
year was his vacation time.

Of course, I don't know what happened to the guy in later years. Do you get a
decent retirement from a career like that?

Probably not, but if you’re lucky you can “work� until you die and still
enjoy it. What would he need to retire from?

Good point. I've thought a lot about people who love their work so much
that they would never want to do anything else. I consider them lucky.

And I did love teaching, although I didn't love the administrative
duties I had. But I have too many interests to devote myself to only one
endeavor. I find retirement to be a very nice thing indeed.
