Just won my big money $2500 prize in the fantasy football league tonight. I know I'm going to gamble like Phil Mickelson goinf forward.

Cool, you used to talk about coaching girls basketball a number of years ago. Do you still do that? With retirement, will you increase your involvement in basketball, or winding things down to a more relaxing lifestyle?

Shum. I haven't coached for several years but if the opportunity were to present itself I would take a hard look at it. I'm planning on lots of golf and lots of gambling.

I'll be interested to hear if you get back into it. I coach some junior basketball over here (Australia) and at the end of last season, one of the parents thanked me for the time and the passion I'd displayed. I really reflected on the comment about passion - because it's not something that he should be thanking me for, but something that I should be very thankful to have. It is a great fortune to find something we can be passionate about. So, if that is basketball coaching for you - I encourage you to really pursue getting back into it.

Whatever retirement brings, I wish you all the best.

Congrats Cool! Best wishes with everything in front of you.

Congratulations Cool. Living the life.

Congrats Cool. Time to live life on your schedule

You earned your freedom!

Cool, thanks for sharing this exciting news with us. I've never understood people who say they "flunked retirement"...I've liked every minute of it! I was able to start a not for profit for inner city kids (it's still going although I resigned from the board when we became snow birds in Tucson), learned to play guitar (never had time when I was working), playing a lot more golf (but not improving at all ), and now play hardball three mornings a week with a bunch of 60+ guys who refuse to let the old man in. I hope your retirement is rewarding as mine has been. Enjoy!

You people are old! Damn!






Ok. I'm just jealous. Enjoy the retirement.
