I am the same way el sapo, I cannot stand sitting around an am happiest when I am creating something. my dad is like this, he "retired" from ibm and is a professor focusing mostly on research now. he has a lot of flexibility in his hours, and he builds everyone in my family beautiful furniture in his spare time. he would never be happy with a traditional retirement, and I think I wouldn't be either.

to that note, hopefully I will still be a working musician and playing some gigs, and also have the time and money to be selective about what I focus my energies on, whether that's composing music or writing software I dig or maybe something else. I also hope to be able to remain physically active and relatively fit in old age.
