On Friday, at age 66 years and 60 days, Mom retired as a receptionist at Surya Electronics in Glendale Heights. She'd been there 10 years, after a colorful career spanning several employers (some crazed) and taking a break to raise the kids.
Dena and I drove up to celebrate by feasting at TGI Friday's, watching the season finale of Monk and munching on Starbuck's lemon cake.
Earlier in the day, Jack sent me a note pointing out how close Mom's retirement age was to Dad's age at death (66 years, 59 days). So the odds are 50/50 that for us life will end or begin, at that age!
Both of my grandfathers died before age 70, so retirement at 55 actually sounds pretty good...
