I missed the earlier messages, but it looks like we made the same 
life-changing decision...except that mine came later in life.  I retired
at 
the August after 41 years of teaching at the same university.  The 
department chair asked if I would teach a couple of cl***** as an adjunct,

and I may do that.  He said I could set my own schedule and pick my own 
cl*****..."anything you want, he said."  So, that sounds pretty good.  The

pay isn't very good for an adjunct, but it would be only part-time and 
supplement my retirement income.  And I could continue to use my skills 
(such as they are).
