内容简介：
What does a quality assurance analyst, whatever that is, do when he retires? When itas the fifth time, after a few involuntary retirements? In Jerry Hoemas case, he decides to release his pent-up imagination in a humor column for a small-town newspaper. He takes his last retirement seriously. Feeling that retirees are obligated to travel, and those of a certain age must give unsolicited advice, his columns range broadly and humorously through trips and relatives and construction and weather and any number of disconnected events. On rare occasions he has serious ruminations, but recovers quickly into more of the nonsense forbidden in his career, or more accurately, careers. The Retiree is a collection of his columns, an enjoyable look at a sometimes atypical retirement.
