TV CHANNELS
In about a month, maybe 6 weeks, my father is going to get his first taste of retirement living. He said he was retiring last year, but then abruptly changed his mind. Now last week he gave his papers in to retire at the end of June. I have no idea what he’s going to do with himself from now on. He has no hobbies or outside interests of any kind. He doesn’t even watch sports or follow any teams. All he does is randomly flip through TV channels and then start watching a movie or a TV show halfway through. There’s some exercise equipment lying around the house, but he long ago gave up using any of it. He doesn’t walk the dog. He doesn’t read any books. I have no idea how he’ll pass the time. He used to talk about getting a part-time job when he retired, but he worked for the city for 20 years. That means high pay for minimal effort. He’s too lazy to bag groceries or stock shelves or do anything like that. He once wanted to work on a casino river boat or one of those gambling boats on lake Michigan as a card dealer, but he hasn’t put in any effort toward that.
