Carroll is into his 8th decade. I might be working then out of necessity. He does not have that excuse.

You don’t need an excuse for not retiring if you love the work you are doing. Verdi wrote his last opera, Falstaff, when he was 79, and it was a great success.

A friend of mine was still working in her 80th year. Her daughter asked her doctor about forcing her to retire and the doctor said bluntly that retiring would kill her.

The family decided that they knew better. They forced her out and she was dead in five months.
