Reading the title, you might think that this post is about my parents who have been retired for a little more than a year now and are still figuring it out. You might think that I am going to write about how the number of annual visits (two) from them has inexplicably NOT risen, despite having no schedule, no plans and no commitments. You might think this is about how they are perfectly happy to sit and Midland and demand to be visited. But it is not.

Instead, we focus on the news today that Giants defensive end Michael Strahan has finally retired after his triumphant win in the Super Bowl last year. I honestly hardly know who he is and certainly not enough to write some sort of a tribute to him except that he has one characteristic that reminds me of someone I know. See if you can pick it out.
