Audio narration by David Marlow
Today is the fourth anniversary of my ‘early’ retirement from corporate life.
Since all the kids were starting back to school about this time, Facebook was full of first-day-of-school photos.
I thought, “Why not a first day of retirement photo?”
Thus began the adventures of Retired Dave.
Here’s the original photo my wife took…
The real Dave never retired, of course. Here’s what ‘Retired Dave’ has been up to since then. All of these are things I’ve created either for fun or for an article.
Visiting art museums…
I was using a Chuck Close quote in an article and thought, why not?!
A few out-of-this-world trips…
Occasional visits to a coffee shop…
I am particularly happy with this one as it took several layers to get the realistic effect.
Watching a Packer game while out ice fishing. Yes, this is a photo shot by a friend of mine taken in the middle of a frozen lake in 10° weather. I mean, you can’t miss the Packer game just because you’re ice fishing.
Retired Dave loves spending time in nature.
More nature…
The holidays are always a special time for Retired Dave.
Machu Picchu is one of his bucket list items he finally checked off…
Who knows where he’ll end up next?
