# Flagging Interest

My 2068 serves me as a useful tool to cope with the many demands of semi-retirement. I use it frequently to help me acquire new knowledge and skills, an activity that to me is a prime reason and delight of retirement.

As a retiree I get to spend more time on the water sailing than I did in the past and have found it desirable to hone some old nautical skills as well as to learn some new ones. In order to accomplish this I find it useful to enlist my 2068 to serve as a partner in learning even though quite frequently no program seems to exist for the two of us to use.
