Freud said, "Love and work. Work and love. That's all there is."

frɔɪd sɛd, "ləv ənd wərk. wərk ənd ləv. ðæts ɔl ðɛr ɪz."

Well, I'm retired, and my wife is dead. As you can imagine, that's given me some time on my hands.

wɛl, əm rɪˈtaɪrd, ənd maɪ waɪf ɪz dɛd. ɛz ju kən ˌɪˈmæʤən, ðæts ˈgɪvɪn mi səm taɪm ɔn maɪ hænz.

My wife's been gone for three and a half years. I miss her in every way.

And retirement? That is an ongoing, relentless effort in creativity.

At first, I admit I enjoyed the novelty of it. (It) sort of felt like I was playing hooky.

I used all the miles I'd saved and traveled the globe. The problem was, no matter where I went, as soon as

I got home, the "nowhere-to-be" thing hit me like a ton of bricks.

aɪ gɑt hoʊm, ðə "nowhere-to-be" θɪŋ hɪt mi laɪk ə tən əv brɪks.

I realized the key to this whole deal was to keep moving. Get up, get out of the house, and go somewhere. Anywhere.

Come rain or shine, I'm at my Starbucks by 7:15.

Excuse me, mind if we join you?

I can't explain it, but it makes me feel part of something.

aɪ kænt ɪkˈspleɪn ɪt, bət ɪt meɪks mi fil pɑrt əv ˈsəmθɪŋ.

How do I spend the rest of my days? You name it. Golf, books, movies, pinochle. Tried yoga, learned to

cook, bought some plants, took classes in Mandarin.

Xiang xin wo, wo shen me dou shiguo le. Translation: "Believe me, I've tried everything."

And then, of course, there are the funerals. So many more than I could imagine.

The only traveling I do these days is out to San Diego to visit my son and his family. They're great.

I love them to pieces. But to be honest, I think I probably relied on them way more than I should.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not an unhappy person. Quite the contrary. I just know there's a hole in my

Which brings me to today when I was leaving the market and caught your flyer out of the corner of my eye.

Hmm. Seniors, be an intern.

Ben, I thought that was you. Hi.

I think an Internet place is looking for senior interns. Am I reading this right?

Let me see. "Applicants must be over 65 years of age, have organizational skills, a genuine interest

About the Fit dot com, isn't that the outfit that was...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They bought one of those old factories in Redhook. My daughter says they sell clothes

Well, you have to upload the application. That could be challenging. Listen to this.

So here I am, applying to be one of your interns because the more I think about this idea, the more tremendous

The tech stuff might take a bit to figure out. I had to call my 9-year-old grandson just to find out what

Also, I want you to know I've been a company man all my life. I'm loyal, I'm trustworthy, and I'm good in a crisis.

And I love that you're right here in Brooklyn. I've lived here all my life, and lately I feel I may not be hip

I read once musicians don't retire, they stop when there's no more music in them. Well, I still have music
