Retirement Sucks!

by Mike Turnbull

Overview

This is my 7th book. I feel blessed that Jansina and the staff at Rivershore Books have agreed to publish my latest attempt at writing.

If you have read any of my other books, this one falls in line with the previous books, Random Thoughts of a Stupid Man, More Random Thoughts of a Stupid Man, Still Stupid and I Still Own a Flip Phone. I have already admitted that I Still Own a Flip Phone was not my best effort. I hope that this book, Retirement Sucks is a redeeming work. I know that some people thought the last book was a difficult read to follow and it upset some friends and family members. That was definitely not my intention and I have had to live with the repercussions. Hopefully we can all move forward.

That said; Retirement Sucks is the account of my journey as I have attempted to navigate my first couple of years of retirement. I have been slowly making adjustments to this newfound phase in my life. I really don't know how to grade how I am doing, but I am trying and it is getting better by the day.

I know my mother-in-law and wife are probably not happy with the title of this book, but I am hoping neither of them will disown me.

Please enjoy the read, and if you like this book or any of my others, please recommend them to a friend.

About the Author

I am a retired teacher/coach. I retired on May 15, 2017 after a 36-year career. Twelve at the high school level with stops at Lake Park, Ely, Norwood-Young America, and Wadena, Minnesota. Twenty-four years at the college level. Four years at Central Lakes College in Brainerd, MN, and twenty years at Hibbing CC in Hibbing, Minnesota.

My wife and I live in Fall Lake Township in northern Minnesota. We have two grown children and two grandchildren. Our daughter and her family live in Nebraska and our son and his family live in Maple Grove, MN.

Pam, my wife, is a retired innkeeper. We owned a Bed & Breakfast in Hibbing for 14 years. She was the CEO and I was the “Charming Groundskeeper.”

We are blessed to have come full circle in our lives and have been able to move back to the Ely area. We move forward in this new phase in our lives just trying to find out how we will work it out. Pam is much better at retirement than I am, but I will continue to work at it. She is being very patient with me, and I love her more than ever for that.
