For a long time I realized that there was a cognitive disconnect between what I meant when I said 'retire' and what people heard. This captures the 'after you don't need to please someone else in order to fund your daily life expenses' mode that I think of as 'retirement.' I know I'll be hacking new things and reading interesting papers and writing code right up until the point where the EEEG straightlines :-)
