@gingerw Now I feel guilty! My husband works two days in a job that is primarily retired men -- he drives cars for Enterprise. So he is on the road all day but he leaves shortly after 6:00 without waking me.
If anyone has husbands who are retired and need something to take up a little time, being a driver for these car rental agencies works out well. The pay is horrible, but the camaraderie with other retired guys makes it worthwhile. Many are retired executives like himself, one is a retired airplane pilot. He gets together with some of them every Friday morning for coffee, and some used to go out for pizza monthly. There are a few women who drive also.

@contentandwell JK, no need to feel guilty! This is something I chose to do. When I first moved here last year he kept saying don't worry you don't need to get up. But I just feel compelled to. His ride to work is about 15 miles each way and typically at that time of day there is traffic but not as bad as it would be a little bit later. Since he works 4 days a week Friday we get to sleep in until 5:30! Fortunately we are both early morning people and by 10 a.m. I feel the day is half done. We've already been discussing what he'll do once he retires; he figures it'll take about a year to decompress after working 40 years for the one company.
