So recently where I work this book has been talked about and read by a few
coworkers - Die with Zero by Bill Perkins.  Most of us are +/- 8 years out from
retirement.

It's been well received, and really has made me think about what I am doing
now, and what I will be doing in the future.  Bottom line is I want to be
secure in my retirement, but I also have little desire to leave behind large
legacies for others.  My spouse and I want to explore and do while we are able
to - and with each passing year, some things just draw farther and farther out
of reach due to physical aging.

One thing we decided to do was this Memorial Day weekend just go stay for 4
days out in wine country near us.  We've taken numerous day trips, but this
will be our first time just settling in to the area for a few days.  We figured
why not - so we are going to do it!

Life is about living - and I think so many of us in my circle are seeing that
we may be one of the last generations that can really "enjoy" life (which is a
sad state of affairs altogether).
