• We must dress according to the dictates of fashion, make love whether we feel like it or not, kill in the name of our country, wish time away so that retirement comes more quickly, elect politicians, complain about the cost of living, change our hairstyle, criticize anyone who's different, go to a religious service and beg forgiveness for our sins and puff ourselves up with pride because we know the truth and despise the other tribe who worships a false god.

• Steve Forman strafes the south Florida scene with Boca Knights, an outrageously funny mystery novel with a raft of offbeat characters and prose that moves trippingly off the pen. His main man, Eddie Perlmutter, ex-Boston cop attempting semi-retirement in Boca Raton like a fish trying to retire out of the water, is a character for the ages. Carl Hiaasen, watch your back.

• BYU takes on defending national champion Florida State in the Pigskin Classic in Jacksonville, Fla., eight days after announcing that the 2000 season would be his last before retirement: I do know this, that I'm finally a little bit more relieved than I've been for some time. Patti (his wife) and I have talked about it a lot and came to that conclusion (to retire). I had a feeling of serenity, if you will. In fact, I was feeling so serene that I put in a film of Florida State, and that got me out of that mood in a hurry.

• Considering retirement? When that happens, I don't want that to be the story of whatever the season it is. I don't want to have to be talking about it all the time. My plan is when the time is up, it'll be time to hang it up. When that comes, it'll come. But right now, I don't have any clue as to when that'll be. It's been that way the last couple of years. . . . I've often felt if I ever get to a point where I don't want to go recruiting and can't get excited about it, then maybe it's time. That's a pretty good indication that's probably it. And I haven't reached that point at all yet.

• It's Good...But
  No more rush hour driving
  To start and end your day
  No more early alarm calls
  But..much less pay
  No more back stabbing
  Or rising to the bait
  No more phone calls from the boss
  Asking you to work late
  But...having to get by
  On half your hourly rate
  Now you have all day
  To sit or doze to stay to go
  Anywhere you like...
  ..cheaply
  You've got less dough
  Travel around the world
  Do anything you've desired
  But do it economically
  Now that you're retired

  John Walter Bratton

• At last some time for pleasure trips
  And do what you want to do
  The time to just take your time
  It's toodle-oo to time that flew
  Those plan A's and B's
  Coming down of that dusty shelf;
  it's your time now just for you
  To do things for your self.
