Well, he's indicated that he's not ready to sit back and twiddle his thumbs if at all possible (health permitting.) If he DOES decide to retire, I'm sure we'll all be very happy for him to spend time with family and friends and just kick around.
That said, "ol' guy"??? That's relative. Granted he's no spring chicken, but neither am I, which may be why I question the "ol'" part. 65 (come November) isn't what it used to be - I think we had this discussion elsewhere. Somebody used to running 16K a week and working out 4 days a week at the gym has a lot of energy to draw on. Yeah, his illness undoubtedly took a heck of a lot of starch out of him, but he has the willpower, drive, and interest to keep on keepin' on. There's longevity on his mother's side of the family, anyway.
