I retired on 10/20/18 and now it is the end of November. I have been so busy, can't get time to update my blog. My routine is more or less constant. WEEKDAYS: I get up at 4 AM every day. Read my mail and record the change in my finance portfolios. Spend about an hour cooking breakfast, preparing ginger water, getting ready for morning yoga, packing lunch for Pari. Go to 6 AM to 7:30 AM yoga. Take shower at yoga, and back to home by 8AM. Watch 30 minutes to one hour of late night comedy recorded. Take an hour nap. Wake up, trade stocks and options for about an hour. Go to Princeton University campus, park in visitor lot, walk in the campus, attend a lecture and return home by about 2 PM. Trade stocks/options for about 30 minutes. Take a bath, read newspaper. Prepare for Calculus teaching on Mon and Wed.  Go to MCCC for teaching at 5:30 PM and return at 9:30 PM. Watch vedanta lectures on other weekdays for about an hour. On Friday, usually do groceries. Watch TV
