Shocking retirement revelation 1: Email is no longer important!

It's as if the tap has been turned off... I no longer have any emails that require much attention! Sure, some are interesting, and The Google does a nice job of removing the spam and filtering the Updates from the Promotions. But none require action on my part, which is both delightful and a bit unnerving! For the past 40 years checking emails first thing in the morning reminded me daily of this story about Tommy D'Alesandro, mayor of Baltimore in the late 1960s. He described being mayor thusly: 'Every morning I come into a beautiful City Hall and everyone smiles and greets me, I come into a big beautiful office and sit behind a big impressive desk, and every morning my secretary comes in with a big beautiful silver platter on which is piled a big steaming pile of (poop) that I have to deal with. And the next day the same thing happens, and the next, and the next, and the next.' Morning email was a lot like like... what's on the 'silver platter' for today. But now there are no more silver platters. I don't miss them.
