I really feel people shouldn't retire if they're not made to. It does something to their immune system. Of course, often health issues were the reason for retirement, but they didn't want to say.

I think the latter is the case quite often: Roger Ebert; Andy Rooney; Morley Safer... all died within a week of their "retirements."

Not to mention Charles Schulz, who died within 24 hours of the publication of his final Peanuts strip.

And yet my f-i-l is going on 62 days since he "retired".

Makes it seem like Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant cheated the Grim Reaper by waiting a month after coaching his final game to shuffle off this mortal coil.
