Good for you. Whatever makes you happy, that is called freedom.

I traveled extensively my first 50 years (military, work, and pleasure). Been all over so nothing much left I want to see, especially outside this country. I don’t eat much foreign/exotic food, beef and taters and greens for me (I like to know what I am eating). I like the quiet life and don’t really care if anybody, especially youngsters, care. I like dogs, horses, and cows better than majority of people anyways. I get up, work and spend my evenings and weekends doing relatively only what I want to do. The occasional trip to a small country dancehall for some dancing or round of golf. No more rat race, traffic, rude people, pop-culture crap, crime, or flight delays. Outside of work I am not on a computer more than 1 or so a week. Phone only when one of my kids texts/calls me.

I gym every day and am in better shape than most, but if I do get sick, I am not worried. Haven’t had a cold or flu (not China flu either, didn’t vax) for almost a decade now.

So, I am good. I hope you enjoy your endeavors. Different strokes for different folks. I’ve had my fill of the new culture here, progress, forced stress, and city stuff.
